A research team in Japan has developed a new imaging method that allows for detailed intracellular temperature maps, revealing the temperature difference varies greatly depending on the location in the cell. This breakthrough may lead to a better understanding of diseases like cancer and its pathogenesis.
Scientists found that people with type 2 diabetes face twice the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease due to peptide deposits. Researchers discovered the molecular interactions between amyloid beta and amylin peptides, which may lead to protein aggregation and disease progression.
Cats and humans share a similar form of epilepsy caused by an autoimmune response targeting nerve cell proteins. Researchers have discovered antibodies reacting to these proteins in the blood of affected cats, which is consistent with a similar human condition.
