The prevalence of gluten-sensitive enteropathy

While gluten sensitive enteropathy was thought to be a rare disease in the past and was believed to be essentially a disease of Europeans, recent screening studies showed that GSE is one of the most frequent genetically based diseases occurred worldwide.

Novel glioblastoma mouse model

Researchers have developed a versatile mouse model of glioblastoma�the most common and deadly brain cancer in humans�that closely resembles the development and progression of human brain tumours that arise naturally.

Pathogenesis of C. jejuni-related disease

Campylobacter jejuni, a food-borne organism contracted from untreated water and meat is one of the leading causes of bacterial diarrhoea worldwide. Researchers investigated whether different strains had different effects. MORE »

Toxicity mechanism identified

In cell cultures and animal models of Parkinson's, an accumulation of alpha-synuclein interferes with the cell's recycling of MEF2D, leading to cell death. MEF2D is especially abundant in the brains of people with Parkinson's, the researchers found. MORE »
