Seizures in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) may be driven by changes in levels of certain brain signaling molecules, implying that targeting these molecules may be a viable strategy to treat ...

Naked mole-rats are one of nature's most extraordinary creatures. These burrowing rodents can live for up to 37 years, around ten times longer than relatives of a similar size. But what is the secret ...

Using comparative molecular biology with human cGAS – which actually inhibits DNA repair – the scientists found that the naked mole-rat's enzyme has four key changes that facilitate the important work ...

All northbound lanes of State Route 167 near Algona and Pacific will be closed overnight Saturday into Sunday morning as crews continue repairs on the damaged bridge at 3rd Avenue. The closure runs ...

The layoffs come as the country is heading into the winter respiratory virus season – a time when infections such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza and Covid-19 cause a surge in ...

Naked mole-rats are well known for both their wrinkly appearance and for their unexpectedly long lives. The source of this extended lifespan has been under scrutiny for decades. While many rodents are ...

Four subtle tweaks to an enzyme could help explain why naked mole rats can live for nearly 30 years, an unusually long lifespan for creatures their size. In a study 1, published in Science today, ...

Summary: Researchers have identified two compounds capable of repairing the protective myelin sheath damaged by multiple sclerosis, a major advance toward reversing nerve injury rather than just ...

Damage to the brainstem - the brain's 'control center' - is behind long-lasting physical and psychiatric effects of severe Covid-19 infection, a study suggests. Using ultra-high-resolution scanners ...
