The mutation in the dystrophin gene causes the progressive deterioration of skeletal muscles see...

EGF receptor activation prevents microbes from going more than skin deep

Our skin not only serves as a physical barrier against infection but skin cells themselves can mount an immune response to kill invading microbes by producing antimicrobial polypeptides (AMPs). As overt infection in the skin is a rare event, researchers have theorized that AMPs must not only help fight infection, but play a role in preventing infection from developing in the first place. I...

Consuming fish prevents dementia risk

Old people who eat fish or seafood at least once a week have a reduced risk of dementia. Researchers from the University of Texas studied a group of 1205 people aged over 65 //and without dementia at the beginning.
