Reimagining Alzheimer’s (Part 8): APOE4 Removal Reduces Symptoms Of Alzheimer’s Disease
New research in mice suggests that removing the APOE4 gene dramatically reduces the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease.
No Proteins, No Problem: Viroids Cause Disease By Silencing RNA
Viroids are the world’s smallest infectious pathogen. Unlike viruses, they do not carry any proteins of their own. Despite this, they can still cause serious disease in plants. How?
Hepatitis C, The Disease, Epidemiology, Treatment, Eradication Part 3: United States Epidemiology
In the third part of this series, we illustrate the scope of hepatitis C infections in the United States and highlight the inequities in disease burden across various groups of people.
Prophylactic Antibodies Alter Vaccine Responses To Covid-19
A new study shows that previous treatments with monoclonal antibodies may impact your future immune defenses against Covid-19.
Viroids, A Farmer’s Nightmare
Viroids are like viruses, but smaller and simpler. They do not make any proteins and they don’t have a protective coat. Despite this, they can still cause serious damage.
Klotho: Hope For Increased Longevity And Reduced Neurodegenerative Disease (Part 2)
A recent paper describes how klotho may be a protective protein against aging and neurodegenerative diseases in the brain.
Hepatitis C, The Disease, Epidemiology, Treatment, Eradication Part 2: Global Epidemiology
In this installment, we’ll cover current estimates of HCV burden by geographic location, genotype, age, and gender as well as the global burden of HCV morbidity and mortality.
Hope For Universal, Ready-Made CAR T Therapy For Multiple Myeloma
A clinical trial released encouraging safety results for a universal, ready-made version of CAR T therapy for multiple myeloma.
Klotho: Hope For Increased Longevity And Reduced Neurodegenerative Disease (Part 1)
In this short series, I provide a brief overview of an anti-aging protein called klotho and how it may lead to new insights and treatments for age-related diseases.
