NIH Research Matters The genetics of age-related macular degeneration, how the brain produces speech, and insights into the worms that cause schistosomiasis
The Genetics of Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Researchers identified several new regions of the human genome associated with age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness. The findings may eventually lead to new treatment and prevention approaches.
A new study revealed the patterns of brain activity that produce human speech. This research may one day lead to new methods for treating speech disorders.
Stem Cells Discovered in Deadly Parasitic Flatworms
The flatworms that cause the tropical disease schistosomiasis can survive inside infected people for decades. The discovery of the stem cells that may be responsible could now lay the groundwork for new strategies to treat
