They shared a common interest in martial arts and a burning desire to resist China’s tightening grip on their lives. Now in the wake of a sweeping national security law, imposed by Beijing, they need to decide… are they going stay and continue to protest or flee to the United Kingdom, a country offering them a way out. In a move that infuriated Chi...

Plasmonics: How Researchers Are Using Metals To Create Powerful Biosensors 25/01/2021 In the battle against breast cancer, the drug Herceptin is a steady ally, keeping some kinds of tumors at bay and helping people live longer. Yet nearly all cancers eventually develop resistance. Until recently, the underlying cause of this resistance eluded researchers. But then chemist Wei Wang developed a technique to track how individual Herceptin molecules attach to cancer cells. He found that ...

University at Buffalo Study: Memory deficits resulting from epigenetic changes in Alzheimer’s disease can be reversed In preclinical study, researchers have identified new genes that could be key therapeutic targets for treating Alzheimer’s disease Zhen Yan, PhD, SUNY Distinguished Professor, Department of Physiology and Biophysics Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences BUFFALO, N.Y. – Memory loss associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) may be able to be restored by inhib...

Zhen Yan, SUNY Distinguished Professor Department of Physiology and Biophysics Memory loss associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) may be able to be restored by inhibiting certain enzymes involved in abnormal gene transcription, according to a preclinical study by UB researchers. The findings could pave the way toward new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease. The paper was published Dec. 9 in Science Advances. “By treating AD mouse models with a compound to inhibit these enzymes, we were a...
