In a collaborative study at the University of California, San Diego, investigators from neurosciences, chemistry and medicine, as well as the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) have investigated how proteins involved in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease interact to form unique complexes. Their findings explain why Alzheimer's patients might develop Parkinson's, and vice versa. The new and unique molecular structures they discovered can now be used to model and develop new drugs for these devastating neurological diseases

Myelin-making Schwann cells have an ability that make people become young again. The author performed some research about why myelin production falters in some diseases. 
Hybrid Embryo Ban Is Defeated in Britain

The House of Commons has defeated a bill that would have banned the creation of so-called hybrid embryos—part human and part animal—for medical research. That means scientists who obtain proper licenses will be allowed to create hybrid embryos by transferring DNA from human cells into animal eggs that have had most of their genetic information removed. The embryos would then be grown in a laboratory and their stem cells would be harvested for up to 14 days, after which they would be destroyed
