Human Liver Organoids Thrive When Transplanted into Mouse Liver Failure Model
Liver disease researchers have demonstrated in a mouse model that it may be feasible to treat some types of liver failure with transplanted multicellular liver organoid units composed of a heterogeneous cellular population that includes adult stem and progenitor cells. More...13 Sep 2016


Novel Human Monoclonal Antibody Shows Promise for Treating Alzheimer's Disease
A human monoclonal antibody that targets aggregated forms of amyloid-beta (Abeta) protein was shown in a phase Ib clinical study to reduce amyloid plaques in patients with early Alzheimer's disease and to slow or prevent cognitive decline in these individuals. More...12 Sep 2016

High-Resolution Analysis of Leishmanial Ribosome Provides Clues for Drug Design
Derived from a 2.8-Å cryo-EM map, researchers have achieved an atomic resolution structure of the Leishmania donovani large ribosomal subunit (rLSU). Comparison with other eukaryotes and with bacteria provides an important framework for better understanding ribosome biogenesis and a solid structural basis for developing highly selective therapeutics against Leishmania and closely related parasites.
