- Genetic Source of Muscular Dystrophy Neutralized
July 16, 2009
Researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center have found a way to block the genetic flaw at the heart of a common form of muscular dystrophy. The results of the study, published in the journal Science, could pave the way for new therapies that essentially reverse the symptoms of the disease. - Protein Regulates Movement of Mitochondria in Brain Cells
June 15, 2009
Scientists have identified a protein in the brain that plays a key role in the function of mitochondria – the part of the cell that supplies energy, supports cellular activity, and potentially wards off threats from disease. The discovery, reported in the Journal of Cell Biology, may shed new light on how the brain recovers from stroke. - Researchers Identify Toehold for HIV’s Assault on Brain
November 14, 2008
Scientists have unraveled in unprecedented detail the cascade of events that go wrong in brain cells affected by HIV, a virus whose assault on the nervous system continues unabated despite antiviral medications that can keep the virus at bay for years in the rest of the body.
