Human Brain Organoids Reveal How a Genetic Mutation Disrupts Neural Development
Publicado em 03 maio 2022
Scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), School of Medicine used human brain organoids to reveal how a genetic mutation associated with a profound form of autism disrupts neural development. Using gene therapy tools to recover the gene’s function effectively rescued neural structure and function.
Their study is published in Nature Communications, in a paper titled, “ Transcription Factor 4 loss-of-function is associated with deficits in progenitor [...]

Left-Handed Nanoparticle Adjuvant Boosts Flu Vaccine Efficacy in Mice by 25%
Publicado em 20 abril 2022Vaccines can be made more than 25% more effective by adding left-handed chiral gold nanoparticles as adjuvants, according to the results of a study by an international research team in China, the United States, and Brazil. In a publication in Nature, the researchers reported the results of tests with their nanoparticles on human immune cells and also in combination with a vaccine against the influenza virus. “The key to understanding the contribution of these nanoparticles is the concept [...]ver notícia
