Health NewsReversal of Lung Ribrosis in Mice Suggests a Novel Therapeutic Target for Pulmonary Fibrosis Researchers have reversed lung fibrosis in a mouse model of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Mice with lung fibrosis were treated for 21 days with Venetoclax, a FDA approved medication used to treat several forms of leukemia. The treated mice had normal lung architecture at 21 days and no collagen deposition. These results suggest a novel therapeutic target to reverse fibrotic remodeling in the lungs. Potential COVID-19 Medication Found Among Tapeworm Drugs A group of medications long prescribed to treat tapeworm has inspired a compound that shows two-pronged effectiveness against COVID-19 in laboratory studies, according to a new publication appearing online in the journal ACS Infectious Disease.New CRISPR/Cas9 Technique Corrects Cystic Fibrosis in Cultured Human Stem Cells Researchers corrected mutations that cause cystic fibrosis in cultured human stem cells. They used a technique called prime editing to replace the 'faulty' piece of DNA with a healthy piece. The study shows that prime editing is safer than the conventional CRISPR/Cas9 technique.New Drug Combo Shows Early Potential for Treating Pancreatic Cancer Pancreatic cancer affects about 60,000 Americans every year and is one of the deadliest forms of cancer with, fewer than 10 percent of patients surviving for five years after diagnosis. Now researchers have developed an immunotherapy strategy that can eliminate pancreatic tumors in mice. The new therapy, a combination of three drugs that boost the body's immune defenses against tumors, is expected to enter clinical trials later this year.Team Finds Brain Mechanism That Automatically Links Objects in Our Minds When we see a toothbrush, a car, a tree – any individual object – our brain automatically associates it with other things it naturally occurs with, allowing us to build context for our surroundings and set expectations for the world. By using machine-learning and brain imaging, researchers have measured the extent of the "co-occurrence" phenomenon and identified the brain region involved.Our Genes Shape Our Gut Bacteria, New Research Shows Researchers discovered that most bacteria in the gut microbiome are heritable after looking at more than 16,000 gut microbiome profiles collected over 14 years from a long-studied population of baboons in Kenya's Amboseli National Park. The team also found that several of the microbiome traits heritable in baboons are also heritable in humans. Accelerating Regeneration of Torn Nerve Fibers to Repair Peripheral Nerve Injuries One of the main problems preventing optimal regeneration following peripheral nerve injuries is that axons within severed nerves have difficulty regenerating and reaching their target. This may be attributed in part to misguided axons that sprout in multiple directions, decreasing probability to reach their target organs. A new technique fills a nerve conduit with gel containing physical and chemical components that promote and align axon regrowth. Ultra-processed food linked to higher risk of IBD A higher intake of ultra-processed food is associated with higher risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), finds a new study. New Promising Approach for Treating Cystic Fibrosis A new CF treatment strategy involves small, nucleic acid molecules called oligonucleotides that can correct some of the gene defects that underlie CF but are not addressed by existing modulator therapies. The researchers used a new delivery method that overcomes traditional obstacles of getting oligonucleotides into lung cells.
