No Pain, FAAH-OUT
A recent study describes a genetic mutation found in a woman who cannot feel physical pain. The study brings us closer to understanding pain and how we can treat it.
Breaking The Sound Barrier: The FDA’s Approval Of Over-The-Counter Hearing Aids
The FDA’s approval of over-the-counter hearing aids will improve financial and accessibility conditions for the hearing impaired.
Might Hepatitis D Virus Cause More Diseases Than Initially Thought?
Hepatitis D virus depends on a helper virus to enter host cells. Hepatitis B virus was long considered its sole helper. Novel research suggests otherwise.
Is A Broadly Protective And Long Lasting Hepatitis C Vaccine Possible?
Current understanding of the hepatitis C virus requires that a vaccine be both broadly protective and long lasting.
To Kill And Kill Again: How Cytotoxic T Cells Attack Target After Target
Research using high resolution, three dimensional imaging reveals new insights on how killer T cells swiftly kill target after target.
The Road To CRISPR Vision
Stem cell therapies have been making significant progress in restoring vision loss. Here we describe recent advances that use CRISPR to treat retinitis pigmentosa.
Molecular Acrobatics: A Look At Hepatitis D Virus Replication
Hepatitis D virus hijacks host cell transcription machinery to make copies of its genetic code. Here, we take a look at the steps involved in this process.
Beyond Paralysis: Advances In Brain-Spine Interfaces For Post-Injury Movement Restoration
The latest advances in brain-spine interface technology may help those with impeded lower body motor functions to walk again.
How Hepatitis D Virus Hijacks Host Replication Machinery
To replicate, viruses need to make multiple copies of their genome. Almost all encode a protein that does this for them. Hepatitis D virus doesn’t. How does it replicate?
