...diseases, as stem cell and regenerative biology professor Kevin Eggan said in a talk last night, titled “Using Stem Cells and Reprogramming to Model Neural Degeneration.” For example, he said it is difficult to imagine growing a new forebrain in the case of Alzheimer??s Disease, which is effectively what would need to be done to cure it. Stem cell research can be applied to better understand the biological progression of many more complicated diseases, Eggan said in a Sever Hall presentation. He focused on his own research, examining the pathology...
...Nuclear War, said that more than 50 percent of prescribed medicines come from natural sources or are patterned after natural sources. He said that compounds found in cone snails protect brain cells from death when deprived of blood flow, for example, which may be useful for people with Alzheimer??s and Parkinson’s Disease. Chivian said he believes that benefits for humans in preserving biodiversity might move both the general public and public policy makers. For this reason, he said it was important to write the book in terms the general public could understand...
...fluorescent proteins are now commonly used to study the growth and development of nerve cells damaged during Alzheimer??s, for example, or cancer cells...
...debilitating case of Alzheimer??s during the time of his retirement prevented the “perfectionist” Wagner from fulfilling his teaching duties, she said...
...Wagner died of pneumonia and other complications from Alzheimer?...
