Japan's registry transforms outcomes for infants with biliary atresia

Biliary atresia (BA) is the leading cause of liver failure in infants, marked by progressive destruction of the bile ducts. Until the late 1950s, the disease was universally fatal, with no effective treatments. The development of the Kasai portoenterostomy brought new hope, but outcomes varied widely, and many patients still required liver transplantation (LTx).

DNA nanosprings enable precise detection of KIF1A mutations in nerve cells

Cells all require the transport of materials to maintain their function. In nerve cells, a tiny motor made of protein called KIF1A is responsible for that. Mutations in this protein can lead to neurological disorders, including difficulties in walking, intellectual impairment and nerve degradation.
