Seeing Through Diseases With CUBIC
Researchers in Japan have used a tissue clearing and 3D imaging technique to more accurately diagnose diseases.
Mutation Predicts Schizophrenia And Autism Risk
Using molecular tools and statistical analyses, scientists in Japan have found a rare gene mutation that could serve as a potential predictor of schizophrenia and autism.
Pancreas-Derived Molecule Alleviates Brain Disease
Scientists in Japan have demonstrated that a growth factor produced by the pancreas can promote brain recovery.
Faulty Gene Impairs Brain Development
Using genetically engineered mice, researchers in Japan have demonstrated that DNA repair is an essential process for normal brain development.
New Drug Targets For Rare Kidney And Liver Disease Identified
Scientists in Japan, Spain and the US have discovered that a rare kidney and liver disease is caused by a defect in the protein degradation pathway of cells.
Repurposing Brain Imaging To Detect Kidney Disease
Scientists have used brain imaging techniques to replace invasive biopsies in diagnosing kidney diseases.
Selenium Makes Insulin Last Longer
By replacing sulfur with selenium, scientists have developed a long-lasting synthetic insulin analog that could be used for treating diabetes.
Stopping Bacteria By Their Tails
Disrupting biological nanomachines like the flagella of bacteria could be one effective way to prevent infectious diseases, scientists say.
Rough Surfaces Boost Solar Cell Performance
Using an inexpensive method to make the surface of solar cells rougher, scientists in Japan have created efficient solar panels that do not require antireflective coatings.
