September 2010 in “PLoS ONE” This study found that using a Picosecond IR Laser (PIRL) on mouse skin led to less tissue damage and scarring compared to conventional surgical lasers and tools.
October 2010 in “Epilepsy Currents” This study found that inhibitory neurosteroids synthesized within glial cells can reduce seizure frequency in epileptic animals by enhancing inhibitory transmission via γ-aminobutyric acid receptors.
July 2023 in “Journal of Biomedical Science” In this review, the authors emphasize that phenotypic heterogeneity in genetic systems and human diseases is influenced by stochastic fluctuation and network topology, proposing that ultrasensitivity and threshold effects explain this variability, which may inform strategies for preventing and treating genetic diseases.
28 citations
,
February 2008 in “PubMed” This study found that low iron stores are a risk factor for excessive hair loss in non-menopausal women.
