Stem Cell Researchers Move Toward Treatments for Rare Genetic Nerve Disease
May 7, 2013 — Researchers have used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) to advance disease-in-a-dish modeling of a rare genetic disorder, Ataxia Telangiectasia. Their discovery shows positive effects of drugs ... > full story -
Anti-Depressant Link to Clostridium Difficile Infection
May 7, 2013 — Certain types of anti-depressants have been linked to an increase in the risk of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) finds a new study. Awareness of this link should improve identification and ... > full story -
Effects of Stress on Brain Cells Offer Clues to New Anti-Depressant Drugs
May 6, 2013 — New research reveals the detailed mechanism behind how stress hormones reduce the number of new brain cells -- a process considered to be linked to depression. The researchers identified a key ... > full story -
Critical Link in Mammalian Odor Detection Identified
May 6, 2013 — Researchers at the Monell Center have identified a protein that is critical to the ability of mammals to smell. Mice engineered to be lacking the Ggamma13 protein in their olfactory receptors were ... > full story -
Epilepsy Cured in Mice Using Brain Cells
May 3, 2013 — Epilepsy that does not respond to drugs can be halted in adult mice by transplanting a specific type of cell into the brain, researchers have discovered, raising hope that a similar treatment might ... > full story -

Turning Human Stem Cells Into Brain Cells Sheds Light on Neural Development
May 2, 2013 — Medical researchers have manipulated human stem cells into producing types of brain cells known to play important roles in neurodevelopmental disorders such as epilepsy, schizophrenia and autism. The ... > full story -
Kids With Conduct Problems May Have Brains That Under-React to Painful Images: May Increase Risk of Adult Psychopathy
May 2, 2013 — When children with conduct problems see images of others in pain, key parts of their brains don't react in the way they do in most people. This pattern of reduced brain activity upon witnessing pain ... > full story -
Persistent Pain After Stressful Events May Have a Neurobiological Basis
May 2, 2013 — A new study is the first to identify a genetic risk factor for persistent pain after traumatic events such as motor vehicle collision and sexual assault. The study also contributes further evidence ... > full story -
