Over 5% of children and adolescents are diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) globally. This condition is characterized by a short attention span, hyperactivity or impulsive behavior that is age-inappropriate, making it difficult for patients to navigate interpersonal relationships, the formal education system, and social life.

878. 3D structure of human clusterin sheds light on Alzheimer's risk factor

Late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is the most common form of dementia, with symptoms appearing after age 65. Since carriers of clusterin risk alleles have an increased likelihood of developing LOAD, the associated clusterin protein is of interest to researchers. In order to better understand the function of the associated protein, researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry have deciphered the molecular basis for the chaperone function of clusterin.

  • medicalxpress.com language

Immune-checkpoint therapy (ICT), which attempts to harness a patient's own immune system to fight cancer, has revolutionized cancer care over the past two decades. However, many patients do not respond to this therapy, and drug resistance due to immune-evasive (or "cold") tumors remains poorly understood.

Despite vaccines and treatments, SARS-CoV-2—the virus that causes COVID-19—continues to pose a global health threat, driven by new variants and its ability to hijack human cells in ways that still aren't fully understood. Now, scientists at Scripps Research have pinpointed dozens of human proteins that SARS-CoV-2 needs to complete its full life cycle, from entering a cell to replicating and releasing new viral particles.
