GFP Private Wealth, formerly Gries Financial Partners, is now being led by Carina Diamond, who was installed as the firm's new CEO earlier this year. In 2023, Diamond founded Stella Secunda, which has ...
The slow loss of memory, thinking, and independence that defines Alzheimer’s disease continues to affect millions worldwide. One rare but revealing form of the condition, known as familial ...
A man with genetic mutation that causes Alzheimer's to appear before age 50 remains cognitively fine in his mid 70s. Understanding why could lead to new treatments for the disease.
Scientists at Harvard Medical School have shown that in mice lacking amyloid beta (Aβ), the fundamental hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD), neurons died from the effect of the most harmful mutation ...
Mutations in the presenilin gene, PSEN1, causes early onset of Alzheimer’s disease in humans and in fruit flies modified to have this gene. A new study led by researchers at Penn State revels ...
Researchers working to unlock the secrets of Alzheimer’s disease say they’ve been given a major clue that could help protect people at risk for this type of dementia.
GFP is an intrinsically fluorescent protein that is easily detected using a fluorometer or fluorescence microscope and benefits from high quantum yield, low toxicity to cells and high photostability.
CRISPR/Cas9 nucleases hold great potential for gene therapy, but they frequently induce unwanted off-target cleavage. We previously developed a GFP activation assay for detection of DNA cleavage in ...
In vivo fluorescence imaging using GFP and RFP permits rapid and simple tracking of primary and metastatic cancer development research in live animals.
EphA signaling plays dual opposite roles on axon dynamics in neurons, so it inhibits and promotes axon growth through ligand binding and receptor processing, respectively.
The use of fluorescent proteins such as GFP has been a mainstay of biological analysis for decades and has even garnered the discoverers a Nobel Prize. While these molecules are well suited for ...
