Research published this week describes a promising start to using stem cell therapy for multiple sclerosis. In a small Phase I trial, patients who had stem cells directly injected into their brain appeared to tolerate it well and experienced no serious adverse effects. The treatment may have also stopped or slowed the progression of their symptoms, the scientists say, but larger studies will be needed to confirm its effectiveness.“Even AI Rappers are Harassed by Police” | AI UnlockedMultiple sclerosis is an autoimmune…

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating disease with few treatment options. But in a new clinical trial, scientists have tested a promising new therapy involving injections of stem cells, which seems to slow progression of the disease.In patients with MS, the immune system begins mistakenly attacking myelin, the tissue that encases and protects nerve fibers. As this sheath sustains more and more damage, it disrupts electrical signals traveling through nerves, resulting in reduced mobility, balance, sensation and muscle…

Researchers have made a significant breakthrough in Parkinson’s disease research. Their study reveals that inhibiting a specific enzyme, USP30, in a mouse model can protect dopamine-producing neurons. This finding halts the disease’s progression and opens the door to new therapeutic possibilities for the 10 million people affected by Parkinson’s worldwide.The findings have the potential to pave the way for new disease-modifying treatments for patients with Parkinson’s disease.A study published in Nature Communications by…

Warcraft Rumble has a…lot going on that hampers the overall player experience, but one late-to-endgame design choice really takes the cake. Make sure you pick up one of each leader if you intend to progress in Warcraft Rumble in any meaningful way. Or, you can stop playing, that’s fine too. Endgame is predicated on having one leader of each type Up until sigil level 75 (sigils essentially serve as your account level/progression marker), the easiest way to progress with the game is to clear every new stage as it is…

Results of an 18-month trial led by US pharmaceutical producer Eli Lilly have shown its new Alzheimer's drug can delay the progression of the disease by up to 35.1 percent.That means across the trial certain patients had their decline slowed down by 4.4 to 7.5 months.It's expected that the drug, called donanemab, will be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This will make it the third medication available to treat the debilitating condition in the US.However, the trial also showed that there were severe…

Neuroscientists have discovered that intensive exercise can slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease. The research unveils a previously unobserved mechanism, providing a path for the development of new non-pharmacological treatments. The study also highlights the neuroprotective effect of exercise, detailing its impact on neuronal survival, brain plasticity, and motor control.Intensive exercise can slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease by improving brain plasticity and neuronal survival, according to a study from…

A comprehensive study involving 22,000 multiple sclerosis patients identified a genetic variant that accelerates disease progression. This breakthrough, achieved by Yale researchers and the International MS Genetics Consortium, found that patients with two copies of the variant, near the DYSF and ZNF638 genes, experienced faster disease progression. This finding opens new avenues for developing treatments to slow MS progression.In a first-of-its-kind breakthrough, a study involving over 22,000 multiple sclerosis patients,…

By Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health July 7, 2023An 18-month study found that people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) who maintained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood demonstrated a slower rate of physical functional decline and a reduced risk of premature death in comparison to individuals with lower omega-3 levels. Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid abundant in nuts, seeds, and oils, was particularly influential in this correlation. ALS patients with elevated ALA levels…

Payday 3 will launch with new and revamped special enemy types, a new weapon customization and progression systems, as well as altered difficulty settings and smarter enemy AI.In a dev diary with senior game designers Miodrag Kovačević and Jimmy Karlström, as well as lead gameplay programmer Martin Waern, new details about the game's combat were revealed. Payday 3 will launch with four difficulties: Normal, Hard, Very Hard, and Overkill. You will encounter every kind of enemy on every difficulty, as it…

A clinical trial has found that a low dose of the drug atropine, administered daily as an eye drop, could potentially slow the progression of nearsightedness in children, reducing the risk of serious eye health issues later in life. The promising results of this study could pave the way for treatments that not only correct vision but also halt the advancement of the condition.Clinical trial suggests low-dose atropine is an effective myopia treatment.The results of a new clinical trial suggest that the first drug therapy…
