Remarkably, adult zebra fish can regenerate their hearts after sustaining injury. Scientists recently discovered a critical gene in zebra fish that regulates the regeneration and healing of damaged heart tissue. The Krüppel-like factor 1 (KLF1) gene works by reprogramming genetic pathways in uninjured heart muscle cells in zebra fish upon injury. Understanding how this gene […]
During my daughter’s challenging first year of school, we discovered how much effort it took her to sit and learn.

This article is told from my personal experience dealing with sleep apnea. I believe I was about 20 years old when I started noticing myself jerking out of sleep while gasping for air, which was a pretty terrifying experience. I would even find myself “choking” while dozing off on my way home from work on […]
New grants from the State University of New York could help researchers at Binghamton University create a new therapy to provide relief to Parkinson’s patients and help locate abandoned oil and gas wells. Binghamton University researchers Christopher Bishop and Timothy de Smet have each received grants from the SUNY Technology Accelerator Fund, which helps faculty […]
When you’re searching for your little babe’s swimsuit, you’re looking for a soft suit that will protect their delicate skin. One-piece bathing suits for babies usually include a rash guard, so your baby’s upper half is encased in what looks like a wetsuit. The entire suit has a UPF rating of 50+, so it will […]
Researchers from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center have received a $500,000 grant over three years from the Department of Defense to test a novel strategy using mitochondria transplantation therapy for restoration of neuromuscular structure and function after injury. Poor or incomplete muscle repair after an injury delays or prevents normal function and can […]
