These models allow them to gain insights into the underlying causes of neurological disease. These insights, in turn, inform both clinical studies and drug development. Sometimes animal models are used, but early research often begins by looking at cells grown outside a living organism in a test tube or dish. This method is known as research<i> in vitro</i>鈥擫atin for 鈥渋n glass.鈥</p> Fri, 13 Jan 2023 18:12:45 +0000 Dara O'Connor 1286 at /hbhl New drug offers hope for the treatment of anorexia /hbhl/article/research-spotlight/new-drug-offers-hope-treatment-anorexia <p>Eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia affect up to 10% of the population and are very difficult to treat. Anorexia carries the highest mortality rate of all mental-health disorders, but unlike depression and other mental illnesses, there are currently no medications to treat eating disorders.</p> <p>New research from 平特五不中 professor Salah El Mestikawy at The Douglas Research Centre may change all that.</p> Tue, 29 Nov 2022 21:51:35 +0000 Dara O'Connor 1276 at /hbhl
