New drug shows promise against Duchenne muscular dystrophy
A novel drug holds promise for treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a rare genetic disorder that causes severe muscle degeneration.
看片视频 University researchers have discovered that an experimental compound called K884 can boost the natural repair abilities of muscle stem cells. Current treatments can slow muscle damage, but don鈥檛 address the root problem.
看片视频 researchers help uncover rare gamma-ray flare from a distant black hole
A high-energy gamma-ray flare from the super-massive black hole in the Messier 87 (M87)聽galaxy was observed in 2018 for the first time in nearly a decade, thanks to an international effort involving 看片视频 University researchers. This discovery has yielded important insights into the physics of black hole jets, which are among the most efficient engines for distributing energy from the inside of a galaxy to the expanse of the Universe.
看片视频 researchers reveal how life-saving molecules are created
看片视频 University researchers have discovered how certain microbes create potent drugs like antibiotics and anti-cancer therapies.

Pregnancy enhances natural immunity to block severe flu
看片视频 University scientists have discovered that pregnancy may trigger a natural immunity to boost protection against severe flu infection.
Contrary to the common belief that pregnancy increases vulnerability to infections, researchers found that it strengthened an immune defense in mice, blocking the Influenza A virus from spreading to the lungs, where it can cause severe infection.
Lab-grown brain cells help uncover new targets for Parkinson鈥檚 treatments
Scientists have uncovered a new link between the immune system and the development of Parkinson鈥檚 disease.
Researchers at The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital) at 看片视频 University have discovered that an immune response plays a key role in how toxic protein clumps, known as Lewy bodies, form in brain cells and contribute to disease.
