Muscle regeneration in mouse models of Duchenne muscular dystrophy is improved when THI is purified and given in appropriate doses, a new study suggests.
Blocking the breakdown of a specific fat molecule in the the brains of mice lead to reduced learning ability and memory retention. Additionally, researchers noted an increase of Alzheimer's related proteins. Findings may help explain how dementia may develop in humans, researchers say.
Researchers have discovered two distinct pathways through which a single molecule can cause both painful and itchy skin.
Researchers have identified a novel type of cell death associated with Huntington's disease.
People with schizophrenia have lower levels of S1P, a type of fatty molecule found in white matter. Evaluating post mortem tissue of those who died from a range of psychiatric disorders, researchers found the decreased levels of S1P in the brain was only attributed to those with schizophrenia. The findings could lead to new targeted treatments for the mental health disorder.
