Inhalation of CO2 after a traumatic experience enhances fear memory in mice

The inhalation of carbon dioxide (CO2) by mice a few hours after they formed a new fearful memory makes that memory stronger, so that the mice show more distress when they are prompted to 'retrieve'...

Scientists flip a new piece in the male infertility puzzle

Scientists at Cincinnati Children's appear to have flipped another piece in the underexplored puzzle of male infertility. In findings published Oct. 26, 2021, in Cell Reports, a team led by co-first...

Pipeline of cell and gene therapies holds promise for repairing the Parkinson’s-damaged brains

After several decades of pre-clinical development, cell- and gene-based therapies for Parkinson’s disease (PD) are now actively being explored. In this special supplement to the Journal of Parkinson’s...

Revival of the cell and gene therapy field opens new avenues for repairing the Parkinsonian brain

After several decades of pre-clinical development, cell- and gene-based therapies for Parkinson's disease (PD) are now actively being explored. In this special supplement to the Journal of Parkinson's...

Known regulatory gene appears to be a master gear in the circadian clock

A gene called Npas4, already known to play a key role in balancing excitatory and inhibitory inputs in brain cells, appears to also be a master timekeeper for the brain’s circadian clock, new research...

Scientists discover gene therapy provides neuroprotection to prevent glaucoma vision loss

A form of gene therapy protects optic nerve cells and preserves vision in mouse models of glaucoma, according to research supported by NIH’s National Eye Institute. The findings suggest a way forward...

Gene therapy in early stages may slow down Huntingtons disease

In a new study on mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers report that using MRI scans to measure blood volume in the brain can serve as a noninvasive way to potentially track the progress of gene editing...
