Researchers identify new therapeutic targets for immune-mediated liver diseases and explore the role of IL-6 in protecting liver cells. Osteopontin is also found to play a central role in amplifying rheumatoid arthritis, suggesting potential new treatments for this inflammatory condition.
Researchers found a link between the two diseases, with mutations in HNF-1a protein interfering with PKHD1 gene transcription. This discovery may lead to similar therapeutic approaches for both MODY5 and polycystic kidney disease.
A new delivery system uses short chains of arginine to ferry drugs across membranes and into cysts of Toxoplasma gondii, a single-celled microorganism that causes toxoplasmosis. The discovery opens the possibility of treating active and latent infections in the eye by applying a lotion containing triclosan.
Researchers have identified a novel treatment for polycystic kidney disease (PKD) by targeting a specific receptor responsible for cyst development. The treatment, OPC31260, shows promise as a potential therapy for conditions like heart and liver failure.
Researchers have discovered that Solanum sisymbriifolium can eliminate potato cyst nematodes from the soil, which are difficult to control. By cultivating this plant between potato harvests, farmers may be able to reduce the need for pesticides and improve crop yields.
A recent study has found a direct link between cilia assembly proteins and polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a condition affecting one in every 500 people. The research suggests that stopping cilia formation can cause PKD, providing new insights into the disease's mechanisms.
A study published in Science reveals that Toxoplasma parasites can rapidly adapt to new hosts, allowing them to infect a wide range of animal species and spread worldwide. This discovery raises the possibility of other parasites undergoing similar changes, potentially presenting new threats of infection.
A study found that people with latent toxoplasmosis are 2.65 times more likely to be involved in a road traffic accident, regardless of age. The research suggests that this parasitic disease is not harmless and poses a serious risk to public health.
Researchers found that some contact lens solutions may not effectively kill Acanthamoeba cysts, which can lead to serious eye infections. The two-step hydrogen peroxide solution was the most effective against both trophozoites and cysts.
A team of chemists at Amsterdam University has created an environmentally-friendly pesticide that can effectively combat potato cyst nematodes. The new substance is a derivative of solano-eclepin A, which was first identified in 1992 and has a complex molecular structure containing seven rings.
