Medical research
Research has shed light on the intricate relationship between the structure and function of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs). A study published in Neurobiology of Disease highlights the critical role of ER tubule-shaping proteins in maintaining a

A devastating report published in the Journal of Parkinson's Disease reveals that the Parkinson's disease pandemic has nearly doubled in six years, affecting almost 12 million individuals worldwide. Researchers from the University of Florida emphasize the need for a comprehensive "PLAN" to address the
Medical research
Researchers from University College London have made significant discoveries regarding the importance of the enzyme CaMKII in long-term potentiation (LTP) of excitatory synapses, a process fundamental to learning. According to the findings, CaMKII's enzymatic activity is not as crucial as previously thought, and its primary function is to
Alzheimer's disease
Research from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras has found that microgravity conditions fundamentally alter the aggregation process of amyloid beta (Ab) peptides in Alzheimer's disease. The study, funded by the Indian National Academy of Engineering and Science and Engineering Research Board, demonstrated that microgravity delays the fibrillization
Drug resistance
Researchers from Ningbo University of Finance and Economics have published a new report on the ongoing public health threat posed by multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in China. The study, which analyzed data from patients enrolled between 2015 and 2021, identified several risk factors associated with hospital readmission for MDR-TB patients. The

Leprosy
Research on leprosy conducted by the Department of Dermatology has revealed that the disease has a significant negative impact on the quality of life (QoL) of patients. The study, which evaluated the QoL of 60 leprosy patients in a tertiary care facility in Kerala, South India, found that 62% of
Antitubercular agents
Research conducted at Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine in Suwon, South Korea, has shed light on the coverage of molecular drug susceptibility testing (mDST) among patients with pulmonary multidrug/resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR-TB) in the country. The study, which analyzed data from 2015 to 2021, found that while mDST coverage
