September 21, 2001 -- A gene implicated in the human nerve disorder neurofibromatosis type 1 has been shown to play an important role in a biochemical pathway that communicates crucial information ...

Researchers from France used an Nf1-KO mouse model to study how genetic changes linked to neurofibromatosis type 1 affect spinal development, leading to progressive curvature of the spine. Spinal ...

Nearly 20% of children with NF1 develop pLGGs along the optic pathway, also known as NF1-associated optic pathway glioma (NF1-OPG). Despite many advances in cancer therapy, there are no definitive ...

Neurogenetic disorders, such as neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), are diseases caused by a defect in one or more genes, which can sometimes result in cognitive and motor impairments. Better ...

Spinal deformities such as scoliosis and kyphosis are among the most serious complications of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a genetic disorder that affects about one in 3,000 people. These ...

Pasithea Therapeutics Corp. has announced the successful enrollment and initial dosing of three subjects in Cohort 6 of its Phase 1 clinical trial for PAS-004, a candidate for treating ...

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic condition that causes tumors to grow along nerves in the skin, brain, and other parts of the body. These tumors are usually noncancerous (benign), but they ...

Due in part to information featured in previous blog posts, I’ve received several e-mails recently from individuals interested in learning more about genome-guided therapeutics for NF. The UAB NF ...

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic condition that affects the skin, nervous system, and other parts of the body. The condition, formerly called Von Recklinghausen disease, causes changes in ...
