...ious symptoms, but some go blind, become confused, suffer difficulty with balance or have epileptic seizures. Heavy infections can kill, often as a result of inflammation after the parasites die. The parasite has been virtually eliminated in developed countries, but even in the US there are around 1000 case...

What comes first…the chicken, the egg, or the bad attitude?

...h this is that these 'martyr birds' may eventually suffer from burnout when they don't balance their own needs well enough," Dr. Renema said. Discovery of the exceptional "super-mom" birds that don't fit the textbook norm has opened new doors in the research program. "If the offspring of these special hens...

Using nanoparticles, in vivo gene therapy activates brain stem cells

...and faster to produce, non-viral vectors typically suffer from very low expression and efficacy rates, especially in vivo. "This is the first time that a non-viral vector has demonstrated efficacy in vivo at levels comparable to a viral vector," Bharali said. In the UB experiments, targeted dopamine neuro...
