A step back from defeating Parkinson’s disease… Therapies that appeared 3 years ago don’t really work
Appearance of astrocytes drawn with a fluorescence microscope. Three years ago, a study showing that nerve cells could be regenerated by inactivating astrocyte genes drew attention from the scientific community, but a new study recently came out that says it doesn’t really work. /Gerry Shaw Research has shown that a treatment expected to open up […]
Saturn’s rings are disappearing – Chosun Biz
