People who carry a rare gene variant are about half as likely to develop than people who carry a different version of the gene, a new study finds. Researchers have started to unravel exactly how this genetic quirk might protect against Parkinson's — by preserving the function of a crucial enzyme needed for cells' metabolism and survival.

Another gene therapy, called Lyfgenia, which uses a different method to treat genes with the sickle cell disease, was also approved last week by the FDA. In both treatments, patients must also undergo high-dose chemotherapy to allow the modified genetic cells to replace the diseased cells. According to reporting by NBC News, the use of chemotherapy as a part of the treatment for sickle cell disease can increase the risk of infertility. .

Newswise — Ecosystem services (ESs) provide a variety of services and benefits for human well-being, but the supply-demand mechanism of ecosystem services under different spatio-temporal scales is unclear. The Taihu Lake Basin (TLB) is a microcosm of degraded and unsustainable ecosystem services. Rapid industrialization and urbanization poses a great threat to the environment and ecology.
