Anxiety and stress-related disorders effect 10-30% of the general population and are therefore considered a major burden on public health. Current medical treatments for anxiety disorders include drugs that target various synaptic mechanisms, such as uptake of neurotransmitters. However, severe side-effects and suboptima ... Read more

CF is the most common autosomal recessive disorder in western countries, affecting approximately 30,000 people in the US alone. A major risk in CF arises from chronic bacterial lung infections, affecting 80% of CF patients by the age of 25. Bacterial lung infections are also of major clinical importance in patients with ...

The obesity pandemic has reached alarming magnitudes, affecting more than 2 billion people worldwide and accounting for more than 3 million deaths per year. A poorly understood feature of the ‘metabolic syndrome’ is its association with dysfunctions of the intestinal barrier, leading to enhanced permeability and tran ... Read more

Newly developed p53-reactivating peptides were shown to cause regression of very aggressive tumors in several cancer models. p53 is the most important  tumor suppressor gene. Mutant p53 forms can instigate a cascade of events that may lead to loss of control of cell growth and proliferation, and eventually to cancer. p5 ... Read more
