The Human-on-a-Chip technology was developed by UCF Professor James J. Hickman in his […]
Research has shown that a mutation in the ATAXIN-1 gene leads to accumulation of Ataxin-1 (ATXN1) protein in brain cells and is the root cause of a rare genetic neurodegenerative disease known as spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1). How healthy cells maintain a precise level of ATXN1 has remained a mystery, but now a study […]

When researchers from UCLA and the Laureate Institute for Brain Research in Tulsa, Oklahoma, wanted to test an app they created to measure body image perception, they went to the body image experts—fashion models. Sixty-five female models signed to professional modeling agencies in London were asked to step off the runway and into a laboratory […]
