New gene therapy restores neural connections lost in brain disorder
From University of Minnesota Medical School 22/08/23 The authors analyzed brain activity using resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) in mice, identifying communication patterns between brain regions. They predicted different groups of mice based on their brain activity using statistical methods. CREDIT: University of Minnesota Medical School Urban living: A new study from the […]
Longevity gene from naked mole rats extends lifespan of mice – humans are next
From University of Rochester 24/08/23 In a groundbreaking endeavor, researchers at the University of Rochester have successfully transferred a longevity gene from naked mole rats to mice, resulting in improved health and an extension of the mouse’s lifespan. Naked mole rats, known for their long lifespans and exceptional resistance to age-related diseases, have long captured […]
