When my little guy was an infant, I was sure he was going to die from snot-induced asphyxiation. While I now know better, I could have used a bit more info on what to do to make him feel more comfortable.
Just because many of us are sheltering at home, that doesnât necessarily mean that our kiddos will be sniffle-free. According to Andrew Gelfand, division chief of pediatric respiratory medicine at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, we sometimes see runny noses simply in response to dry air from having the heat on and the fireplace roaring.

For nearly 30 years, the hunt for a cure for Alzheimer’s disease has focused on a protein called beta-amyloid. Amyloid, the hypothesis goes, builds up inside the brain to bring about this memory-robbing disorder, which afflicts some 47 million people worldwide.
Billions of dollars have poured into developing therapies aimed at reducing amyloid – thus far, to no avail. Trials of anti-amyloid treatments have repeatedly failed to help patients, sparking a reckoning among the field’s leaders.
All along, some researchers have toiled in the relative shadows, developing potential strategies that target other aspects of cells that go awry in Alzheimer’s: molecular pathways that regulate energy production, or clean up cellular debris, or regulate the flow of calcium, an ion critical to nerve cell function. And increasingly, some of these scientists have focused on what they suspect may be another, more central factor in Alzheimer’s and other dementias: dysfuncti

A Dallas redevelopment that’s scored a series of recent biomedical industry deals is getting another draw.
LaunchBio, a Massachusetts-based nationwide network of life sciences innovators, is teaming up with Fort Worth-based entrepreneur supporter TechFW to set up a new training program aimed at adding to Dallas’ Pegasus Park campus.
The operation, called ThinkLab, will support the commercialization of biotech, medical tech and digital health technologies.

Assistant professor of biology Lindsay Case wants to understand the protein complexes called focal adhesions that let cells move and sense the world around them. She also aims to determine how cancer arises when focal adhesions malfunction. During her postdoc work at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, she discovered that some of the proteins in focal adhesions work together because of phase separation a clumping behavior that researchers are just beginning to understand. She sat down to discuss what her work means for cancer research, and her future plans for her new lab in the Department of Biology.

The Results, Guided By Researchers From The University Of Texas Southwestern Medical Centre, Revealed That Gauging The Levels Of Proteins, Namely Thyroid-stimulating Hormone (TSH) And Interleukin-8 (IL-8) Alone Would Vary From 74 To 76 Per Cent.

New Delhi:
Autism is a neuro-developmental disorder whose typical features are social interaction and communication challenges, and limited and repetitive patterns of behaviour. The results, guided by researchers from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Centre, revealed that gauging the levels of proteins, namely thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) alone would vary from 74 to 76 per cent.
