Interferon betas, a class of drugs commonly prescribed to those with multiple sclerosis reduces the binding of zinc, C-peptide and albumin to red blood cells.
Researchers have identified a new, early biomarker for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) on the teeth of children. Patients who were diagnosed with ALS in adulthood showed signs of dysregulation uptake of a mixture of essential elements, including zinc, copper, lead, and tin, on their teeth. The study is the first to show clear signatures at birth and within the first decade of life for ALS.
University of Melbourne researchers are conducting trials to see if intravenous administration of zinc chloride will help combat some of the effects of COVID-19. Previous studies have shown zinc is effective at slowing the rate of other respiratory infections, such as SARS.
A retrospective analysis finds a correlation between sleep disorders and a lack of essential vitamins and minerals.
Study finds no association between mineral levels or dietary mineral intake and an increased risk of multiple sclerosis.
A new study reveals a mechanistic link between zinc levels in fetal development, genes and abnormal neural connections associated with autism.
A new study reveals long term exposure of particulate matter in air pollution triggered the appearance of cancer related genes and inflammation in the brains of rats. The study provides additional insight into the health effects of air pollution.
According to researchers, the baby teeth of children with autism contain higher concentrations of toxic lead, and less manganese and zinc that children who are not on the spectrum.
Researchers reveal the structures of a portion of the NMDA receptor.
According to researchers, cellular changes in the brain caused by genetic mutations associated with Autism can be reversed with the help of zinc.
Researchers have been able to provide a crystal structure of the extracellular domain of ZIP4.
According to a new study, researchers have discovered a mechanism that appears to be key in the development of Alzheimer's disease.
