GE-led team uses ultrasound to prevent or reverse Type-2 diabetes in preclinical models

Are we moving closer to the day when diabetes is no longer monitored and managed with blood sugar tests, insulin injections and drug treatments? A GE Research-led team, which includes The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, UCLA Samueli School of Engineering, Yale School of Medicine, and Albany Medical College, has demonstrated the ability to prevent or reverse the onset of diabetes in studies of three different preclinical model systems.

Study shows weakened brain connections in young people at risk of bipolar disorder

A study that showed changes in the brain in those at risk of developing bipolar disorder raises new hope about early intervention.

$4 million program launched to find transformative therapies for ADNP syndrome

Researchers at the UC Davis MIND Institute are launching a $4 million program to find transformative therapies for ADNP syndrome. The rare genetic condition causes developmental delays and can affect the brain, heart, gastrointestinal system and more.

Researchers discover a four-protein complex that may play key role in generating ribosomes

UT Southwestern researchers have identified a four-protein complex that appears to play a key role in generating ribosomes – organelles that serve as protein factories for cells – as well as a surprising part in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Study reveals racial and ethnic disparities in acute-care utilization by pediatric asthma patients

Black children with asthma accessed community health centers (CHCs) less than white children, while Latino children (who prefer to speak either English or Spanish) were more likely to visit CHCs for acute, chronic, and preventive care overall, according to a new, large study.

Trial shows effectiveness of new classes of dual active ingredient insecticidal nets against malaria

IVCC welcomes the publication in The Lancet of the 24-month results of an epidemiological trial in Tanzania, conducted by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in partnership with the National Institute for Medical Research, Kilimanjaro Christian Medical University College, and the University of Ottawa, to assess the public health value of two dual active ingredient nets compared to standard LLINs containing pyrethroids only.

Genetic risk for asthma may be mediated through altered gene expression in the airway cells

A significant amount of genetic risk for asthma is likely mediated through altered gene expression within the airway epithelium.

A cluster of cells in the brainstem found to control the body's response to severe blood loss

University of Virginia School of Medicine scientists have discovered a cluster of cells in the brainstem that controls the body's response to severe blood loss, a finding which could benefit efforts to develop new treatments for traumatic injuries.

Flinders research uncovers how enteric nervous system in the gut communicates with the brain

How the ‘second brain’ – the enteric nervous system in our gut – communicates with our first brain has been one of the most challenging questions faced by enteric neuroscientists, until now.

SARS-CoV-2 virus may have lingering effects on peripheral nerves

Adding to a growing body of evidence that, for many, problems related to COVID-19 linger longer than the initial infection, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that some people infected during the pandemic's early months experienced peripheral neuropathy - pain, tingling and numbness in the hands and feet - during and following their bouts with the virus.
