Peroxisomal biogenesis disorder: New link to sugar metabolism
Peroxisomal biogenesis disorder, which has been linked only to lipid metabolism, is also associated with sugar metabolism.
Spinal cord injury: Using cortical targets to improve motor function
New research provides the first evidence that cortical targets could represent a novel therapeutic site for improving motor function in humans paralyzed by spinal cord injury.
