How Clene Inc. (NASDAQ: CLNN) CNM-Au8(R) Takes Advantage of Gold Nanocrystals to Target Neurodegenerative Disorders

Clene, a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, creates clean-surfaced, catalytically active nanocrystals that directly modulate biological systems, including the central nervous system, by improving mitochondrial health The company’s lead investigational candidate, CNM-Au8(R), is currently in development as a disease-modifying treatment for people living with specific types of neurodegenerative disorders (“ND”), namely amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”), Parkinson’s Disease, and multiple sclerosis (“MS”) Neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by neurodegeneration – the progressive loss of neuron structure, neuronal functions, and finally, the neurons themselves Nanotherapeutics are in development to stop or reverse neurodegeneration using novel approaches to address the mitochondrial deficits and bioenergetic crises…

Researchers Discuss How Brain Cancer Radiotherapy Side Effects Can Be Reduced

A group of researchers recently convened at an event organized by the John B. Little (JBL) Center for Radiation Sciences to discuss strategies for mitigating the side effects of brain cancer radiotherapy. Radiation therapy is one of the core pillars of brain-cancer treatment alongside chemotherapy and surgery. The noninvasive treatment involves using beams of intense energy such as X-rays or other particles to destroy cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation therapy is used to treat many types of cancers and contributes to at least 40% of all cancer treatments worldwide, making it an integral tool in the fight against cancer.…

Chinese Researchers Notch Major Milestone in Developing Gene Editing System Against Autism

Chinese researchers may have scored a major win in the fight against autism after they successfully edited a mutated gene associated with autism in mice. The research team developed a genome-editing system capable of treating ASD-related mutations in mice using base editing in the brain. This treatment represents the first-ever injection with the ability to reverse autism symptoms, at least in mouse models, and could open the door to the development of alternative treatments for other neurodevelopmental disorders. The injection corrects mutations in the MEF2C gene, which typically occur in patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Estimates from the United…

Smart Trackers Could Detect Aging-Related Complications in Seniors

Wearable smart devices that track daily circadian rest-activity rhythms may allow for the detection of frailty-related health risks in seniors more than six years before the problems occur. A new study from Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital has found that smart trackers could aid in the prediction of age-related health risks long before incidents happen. Older populations tend to face age-related declines in their psychological functions as they grow older, especially individuals who are genetically predisposed to develop certain age-related psychological conditions. In most cases, however, these conditions often become apparent once the illness has set in and symptoms have…
