The researchers anticipate that the success of the study will have positive implications for clinical treatment. The treatment caused neurological changes, including a decrease in inflammation and an increase in functionality, according to the researchers. A recent study from Tel Aviv University found that pressure chamber therapy significantly improved social skills and brain status in …
This technique is the most complete to date for studying the shape of genes. The new technique is “like upgrading the Hubble to the James Webb”. A new imaging technique captures the three-dimensional architecture of the human genome in unprecedented detail, showing how individual genes fold at the level of nucleosomes, the fundamental units that …
