A protein mutation curbs brain damage in mice with dementia

Young and 18-month-old mice with an altered UCHL1 protein showed less white matter injury and better sensorimotor and cognitive performance in a dementia model.Young and 18-month-old mice with an altered UCHL1 protein showed less white matter injury and better sensorimotor and cognitive performance in a dementia model.

Support cells worsened disease features in lab-grown human vessels

Experiments with three-layer vessels built from human cells found that support cells increased several vascular disease features in a model of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria…Experiments with three-layer vessels built from human cells found that support cells increased several vascular disease features in a model of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome.

Blood-cell mutation patterns linked to cancer progression

A yearly rise of at least 7.5% in mutated gene copies’ share best predicted cancer progression among patients with unexplained low counts of certain white blood cells.A yearly rise of at least 7.5% in mutated gene copies’ share best predicted cancer progression among patients with unexplained low counts of certain white blood cells.
