Eye disease gene therapy | Gene expression in the human body | Controlling brain circuits in mice

Gene Therapy for Eye Disease Shows Benefits and Limitations An experimental therapy for an inherited disorder that causes blindness improves vision, but the improvement declines with time. The findings offer insights for future therapies. Landscape of Gene Expression in the Human Body A new resource allows scientists to examine how genomic differences affect gene activity in tissues and organs across the body—and how that activity influences susceptibility to diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Controlling Brain Circuits in Mice Researchers developed a tool that can turn specific sets of neurons on and off in mice to affect behavior. The technology can help scientists study mental health and disorders.     Popular Stories from past issues: How Vitamin D May Affect Heart Disease, Diabetes Brain Mapping of Language Impairments Allergy Drug Treats Hepatitis C in Mice Drugs Lessen Multiple Sclerosis Damage in Mice Food Additives Alter Gut Microbes, Cause Diseases in Mice NIH Research Matters is on Facebook!
