Nanokristalle beeinflussen die Differenzierung von Stammzellen während der Knochenbildung

Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler der Universitäten Freiburg und Basel haben einen Hauptschalter für die Regeneration von Knochengewebe identifiziert. Prof. Dr. Prasad Shastri, Professor für Biofunktionale Makromolekulare Chemie am Institut für Makromolekulare Chemie und Professor für Cell Signalling Environments im Exzellenzcluster BIOSS Centre for Biological Signalling Studies der Universität Freiburg, hat die Studie geleitet. Das Team hat seine Resultate im Fachjournal „Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences – USA“ (PNAS) veröffentlicht. (more…)

Frauen mit hormonabhängigem, metastasierendem Brustkrebs steht seit kurzem eine Kombinationstherapie mit dem neuartigen Wirkstoff Palbociclib und einer antihormonellen Therapie zur Verfügung. Fremdstoffe aus Ernährung und Umwelt, die im menschlichen Körper wie Hormone wirken, könnten aber die Effizienz der Behandlung reduzieren, wie nun US-Forscher unter Beteiligung von Benedikt Warth von der Fakultät für Chemie der Universität Wien zeigen konnten.

Named after the Greek goddess who spun the thread of life, Klotho proteins play an important role in the regulation of longevity and metabolism. In a recent Yale-led study, researchers revealed the three-dimensional structure of one of these proteins, beta-Klotho, illuminating its intricate mechanism and therapeutic potential. (more…)

A study by UCLA researchers reveals the cellular basis for how the hormone estrogen protects against damage to the central nervous system in women with multiple sclerosis, or MS. The researchers found that estrogen treatment exerts positive effects on two types of cells during disease — immune cells in the brain as well as cells called oligodendrocytes. (more…)

With Cost Removed, Women Choose More Effective Contraceptive Methods

Contraception cannot be handled with a one-size fits all approach. Women often try several types of birth control before finding one that works best. A new study at University of Utah Health finds that cost often limits women’s access to the most effective contraceptive methods, like intrauterine devices (IUDs) and subdermal implants. (more…)

UCLA researchers are able to turn on and off the genetic defect that causes the disease

Friedreich’s ataxia is an inherited disease that causes damage to the nervous system and a loss of coordination that typically progresses to muscle weakness. It can begin causing symptoms in childhood or early adulthood and, over time, it can also lead to vision loss and diabetes. (more…)
