Sildenafil – an active ingredient also marketed under the name of Viagra – improves symptoms in patients with Leigh syndrome. This has now been reported in the Cell journal by researchers at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, together with teams from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU), University Hospital Düsseldorf (UKD), and the Fraunhofer Institute for Translational Medicine … Read more
A multiomic atlas of the aging human hippocampus uncovers how epigenetic regulation of neural stem cells and immature neurons may shape cognitive decline or resilience in later life. Study: Human hippocampal neurogenesis in adulthood, ageing and Alzheimer’s disease.

Organoids are three-dimensional miniature models of organs, grown in a dish. They have become a valuable tool for studying human development, organ regeneration, function, and disease progression. Organoids derived from patient tissues or created through cell and genetic engineering allow researchers to investigate how specific proteins or their variants affect these processes. However, current approaches … Read more
Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital found that, in neural development, the same set of proteins involved in cellular self-renewal can also facilitate differentiation with the right binding partner. The fundamental processes that govern neural development are complex and, as findings by scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital demonstrate, the underlying driving forces can even … Read more
Organoids are small-scale models that mimic human organs. These models could help scientists understand diseases and test treatments, and potentially aid in regenerative therapeutic methods. Organoids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), represent a promising frontier in medical research. Unfortunately, growing organoids that are large and functional enough to be truly useful is … Read more
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have identified a novel trigger of a deadly form of ovarian cancer: a subset of progenitor cells that reside in fallopian tube supportive tissue, or stroma. The discovery of these high-risk cells, described in a new study published today in Cancer Discovery, a journal of the American Association for … Read more
