Long-term hearing loss from loud blasts may be treatable, researchers say
Long-term hearing loss from loud explosions, such as blasts from roadside bombs, may not be as irreversible as previously thought, according to a new study by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
Scientists discern signatures of old versus young stem cells
A chemical code scrawled on histones — the protein husks that coat DNA in every animal or plant cell — determines which genes in that cell are turned on and which are turned off. Now, Stanford researchers have taken a new step in the deciphering of that h
Brain makes its own version of Valium, scientists discover
Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have found that a naturally occurring protein secreted only in discrete areas of the mammalian brain may act as a Valium-like brake on certain types of epileptic seizures.
Firefly protein lights up degenerating muscles, aiding muscular-dystrophy research, scientists show
Stanford scientists have created a mouse model of muscular dystrophy in which degenerating muscle tissue gives off visible light.
Accelerated biological aging evident in women with Alzheimer’s risk factor, but inhibited by hormone therapy, researchers say
Healthy menopausal women carrying a well-known genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease showed measurable signs of accelerated biological aging, a new study has found.
