ut I think that alteration in these vessels may affect disease progression in those neurological disorders with a prominent immune component, such as multiple sclerosis, autism and Alzheimer disease."
Abnormal immune activity was reported in schizophrenia in the 1930s, and numerous mental and neurologic illnesses are known
Shear stress within thin, microfluidic films is applied to those tiny pieces, forcing them back into untangled,
including autism and schizophrenia. With these new findings, e now have an opportunity to investigate how gene mutations that cause
Quite naturally, stress can have a negative effect on the libido but it has been linked to delayed pregnancy success in couples highly motivated to conceive,
But what may be the molecular reasons behind lasting effects of stress on fertility? A joint team of researchers at University of California and the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research have set out to answer this very question their findings were published last week on elife.
which activated under stress, could be to blame for lasting negative effects on infertility in healthy females.
the researchers were able to preserve all aspects of reproductive health in post-stress mice, thus suggesting a single molecular target that could help alleviate a range of stress-induced fertility problems. t is possible that manipulation of RFRP3 signaling in humans may relieve stress-related reproductive dysfunction,
including decreased sex drive, impaired fertility, and increased miscarriages the researchers said. Currently, as many as 630%of couples under 30 years of age are unable to conceive within 3 months of trying and 15%remain disappointed within 1 year.

#Discovery of a treatment to block the progression of multiple sclerosis A drug that could halt the progression of multiple sclerosis may soon be developed thanks to a discovery by a team at the CHUM Research Centre and the University of Montreal.
These encouraging results from in vitro tests in humans and in vivo tests in mice were published in the Annals of Neurology. e believe we have identified the first therapy that will impact the quality of life of people with multiple sclerosis by significantly reducing the disability and the disease progression
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease that is characterized by paralysis, numbness, loss of vision, and gait and balance deficits that lead to chronic disability.
which plays a crucial role in dysregulation of the immune system observed in multiple sclerosis. ur studies have shown that MCAM is necessary for the migration of CD4 and CD8 across the blood-brain barrier.

#Researchers retrieve ostmemories Retrograde amnesia is the inability to recall established memories. In humans, amnesia is associated with traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer disease,
and other neurological conditions. Whether memories lost to amnesia are erased completely or merely unable to be recalled remains an open question.
Now, in a finding that casts new light on the nature of memory, published in Science,
whose storage was disrupted by chemically inducing retrograde amnesia, could still be recalled. rain researchers have been divided for decades on
whether amnesia is caused by an impairment in the storage of a memory, or in its recall, said Tonegawa.
thus inducing retrograde amnesia. Other mice received saline as a control. As expected, amnestic mice returned to chamber A did not freeze,
despite the induction of retrograde amnesia, the authors suggest that different processes may control memory encoding and recall.
says Tonegawa, s that in retrograde amnesia, past memories may not be erased, but could simply be lost and inaccessible for recall.

The new assay could save many multiple myeloma cancer patients the psychological stress of having to try multiple drugs until they find the most effective one.
Mesencephalic dopaminergic (mda) neurons and their connections to other neurons in the brain are believed to be related to disorders including drug abuse, schizophrenia, Parkinson disease,
However, it can save many multiple myeloma cancer patients the psychological stress of having to try multiple drugs until they find the most effective one.
It will reduce stress they get through usual trial and error method and will make treatment that a little bit less tormenting.
when cells are under stress, such as that caused by oncogenic transformation. Though cells require some ROS to survive,
stress conditions can push ROS levels beyond a threshold, triggering a program that causes cells to commit suicide.
but they make use of the surplus to initiate protective mechanisms when under stress. Cancer cells appear to hijack this mechanism,
using the extra reservoir of eif4e to ward off the stress response to enhance their own survival. his work pulls back the curtain on a very unique trick that cancer cells have developed during the course of evolution to promote their own growth, through a program that specific to cancer cells,
