Feinstein Institutes researchers discover new protein for sepsis treatment

Pharmaceutical Technology

Researchers at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research have discovered a new protein that can be a potential therapeutic target for lethal sepsis. It explores the monoclonal antibody detection that may work against procathepsin-L (pCTS-L), a pro-inflammatory protein mediator, as the potential remedy.

Flashing Lights And a Clicking Sound Cleared Toxic Proteins in Alzheimer’s Mice

AuroBlog - Aurous Healthcare Clinical Trials blog

Scientists have now demonstrated how stimulating high-frequency brain waves in mice can clear out the amyloid protein clumps associated with Alzheimer’s. Previous research has shown that stimulating high-frequency brain waves, called gamma waves, might improve the brain’s ability to clear […]
