Antibody Clears Amyloid Plaques in Mouse Model
A team of Alzheimer's disease researchers working with a mouse model identified a specific antibody capable of binding to and mediating the removal of the amyloid plaques that characterize this catastrophic neurodegenerative disorder. More...10 Apr 2018
Role of RNA Methylation Defined in Drug Resistance by Leukemia Cells
Results of a recent study defined the roles of RNA 5-methylcytosine (RNA:m5C) and RNA:m5C methyltransferases (RCMTs) in the formation of discrete chromatin structures that modulate 5-Azacitidine (5-AZA) response or resistance in leukemia cells. More...05 Apr 2018

Less Toxic Drugs May Replace Current Chemotherapeutic Agents
A team of South African cancer researchers has suggested replacing the current frontline platinum-based chemotherapeutic drugs with first generation silver(I) phosphines, which have vast structural diversity and promising anticancer activity. More...04 Apr 2018

Pecan-Enriched Diet Protects against CV Disease and Diabetes
Results of a randomized, controlled feeding trial suggested that eating just 1.5 ounces (44.36 milliliters) of pecans every day could protect adults at risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type II diabetes. More...03 Apr 2018
