Study uncovers how environmental chemicals, specifically organophosphate flame retardants and quaternary compounds, negatively affect oligodendrocyte development, implicating them in potential neurodevelopmental risks such as ADHD and autism, by employing an innovative high-throughput screening approach on mouse and human stem cell-derived models.
Iontronic technology shows promise in slowing malignant brain tumor growth
When low doses of cancer drugs are administered continuously near malignant brain tumors using so-called iontronic technology, cancer cell growth drastically decreases.
