Belle II Detector Produces World’s Most Precise Measurements of Subatomic Particle Lifetimes
The new Belle II experiment recently made a world-leading measurement of the lifetime of a particular charmed baryon, a particle that is produced and decays very quickly under very high energy levels similar to the universe shortly after the Big Bang. This demonstrates the experiment’s ability to make the extremely precise measurements of the sort needed to discover physics beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics.

National Multiple Sclerosis Society awards $1M to Case Western Reserve University researchers to study new approach to treat the disease
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating disease of the brain and spinal cord that impacts millions worldwide. In MS, the immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath—a protective layer surrounding nerve cells in the nervous system. The loss of myelin, combined with ongoing inflammation, causes dysfunction and death of nerve cells, making the disability worse, such as difficulties with movement, coordination, and sensation. Treatments now focus on reducing attacks on myelin, but don’t address nerve-cell damage and death. But with $1 million from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS), a research team co-led by Paul Tesar, the Dr. Donald and Ruth Weber Goodman Professor of Innovative Therapeutics and director of the Institute for Glial Sciences, and Ben Clayton, assistant professor and founding member of the Institute for Glial Sciences, both in the Department of Genetics and Genome Sciences at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, will take a different

Espaço: Uma nova fronteira para explorar a terapia com células-tronco
As células-tronco cultivadas em microgravidade a bordo da Estação Espacial Internacional (EEI) possuem qualidades únicas que poderão, um dia, ajudar a potencializar as novas bioterapias e a curar doenças complexas, de acordo com dois pesquisadores da Mayo Clinic. A análise da pesquisa pelo pesquisador Fay Abdul Ghani e pelo Dr. e Ph.D. Abba Zubair, publicada na NPJ Microgravity, descobriu que a microgravidade pode fortalecer o potencial regenerativo das células. O Dr. Zubair é especialista em medicina laboratorial e diretor médico do Centro de Bioterapias Regenerativas na Mayo Clinic, na Flórida. Abdul Ghani é um tecnólogo em pesquisa da Mayo Clinic. A microgravidade é a ausência de peso ou gravidade próxima a zero.
