Credit: Georg Mair/Vetmeduni Vienna Usutu virus, a flavivirus of African origin, was first detected in Austria in 2001, when it caused a severe bird die-off, mainly of blackbirds. […]
Public Release: 12-Oct-2017 ‘Synthetic incompatibility’ could boost safety and effectiveness of applying genetic engineering to control invasive species, produce fuel, prevent disease and more University of Minnesota A major obstacle to applying genetic engineering to benefit humans and the environment is the risk that organisms whose genes have been altered might produce offspring with […]
Potassium may prevent Calcified Arteries Potassium may prevent Calcified Arteries from Clinical News – VHFILM on Vimeo. Vascular smooth muscle cells into bone-like cells under low-potassium conditions researchers now hypothesize. The researchers also found that increased dietary potassium levels lessened vascular calcification and aortic stiffness. Citation: Dietary potassium regulates vascular calcification and arterial stiffness. JCI […]
Blindness reversed through simple gene therapy (Animal Model) Blindness reversed through simple gene therapy (Animal Model) from Clinical News – VHFILM on Vimeo. Researchers have shown how it might be possible to reverse blindness using gene therapy to reprogram cells at the back of the eye to become light sensitive.

Consciousness restored after 15 years with nerve stimulation Consciousness restored after 15 years with nerve stimulation from Clinical News – VHFILM on Vimeo. In this review we look at a study in which a man that was lying in a vegetative state for over 15 years was brought back to consciousness through Vagus nerve stimulation. […]
Public Release: 26-Sep-2017 Influenza viruses can hijack host cellular machinery to help mutated viral proteins fold and function Massachusetts Institute of Technology CAMBRIDGE, MA — Influenza viruses mutate rapidly, which is why flu vaccines have to be redesigned every year. A new study from MIT sheds light on just how these viruses evolve so […]
Public Release: 26-Sep-2017 University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston GALVESTON, Texas – Scientists from The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston have gained new insight into how the Ebola virus uses the body’s natural defenses to speed the rate of infection and unleash its lethal disease, according to a new report in […]
