Can Vitamin B3 Reverse Fatty Liver Disease? Study Says Niacin May Help
Researchers have discovered that a tiny molecule, known as microRNA-93 (miR-93), is the primary driver of fatty liver disease. In patients with the disease, levels of this molecule are unusually high.

New Study Might Lead to New Therapeutic Approach for Treating Alzheimer’s Disease
Researchers have used a new CRISPR technology that enables them to control these microglia cells. This, according to the team, can lead to a new approach to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The team geared up to detect the genes that were responsible for specific states of the microglial activity. With this, they could switch the genes on and ...

New, Improved Cancer Drugs In The Offing
In a finding that could lead to the development of new and improved cancer drugs, scientists have unveiled the inner workings of a group of proteins that help to switch critical genes on and off during blood-cell production.

Switching Off A Gene May Reduce Heart Attack Risk: Study
People with a specific mutation in a gene have a 50 per cent lower risk of suffering a heart attack, which if switched off with medications could reduce the risk of coronary disease significantly, scientists say.
