Cleveland Clinic researchers are using artificial intelligence to uncover the link between the gut microbiome and Alzheimer's disease.

Tau aggregates have been a notable form of amyloid protein and hence have turned into a main focus of research for unveiling the mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration.

To understand the biological underpinnings of skin and hair pigmentation and related diseases such as albinism or melanoma, scientists and doctors need quantitative, three-dimensional information about the architecture, content and location of pigment cells. Penn State College of Medicine researchers have developed a new technique that allows scientists to visualize every cell containing melanin pigment in 3D, in whole zebrafish.

Melanin is visualized in a silver-stained, 5-day-old zebrafish using X-ray histotomography. The different colors were assigned based on the depth of
