An interdisciplinary team of the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) used an innovative imaging technique for a better understanding of motor deficits in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

Research shows immediate phase of blood vessel restructuring after aneurysm Hitting a pothole on the road in just the wrong way might create a bulge on the tire, a weakened spot that will almost certainly lead to an eventual flat tire. But what if that tire could immediately begin reknitting its rubber, reinforcing the bulge and preventing it from bursting? Thats exactly what blood vessels can do after an aneurysm forms, according to new research led by the University of Pittsburghs Swanson Sch...

Promising nanobodies against COVID-19 produced by llamas Thought LeadersDr. David BrodyProfessor of NeurologyUniformed Services University In this interview, News-Medical speaks to Dr. David Brody about his latest research that involved discovering nanobodies produced by llamas that could help combat coronavirus. What provoked your research into the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic? We are neuroscientists, so it was a bit of a shift in direction! For several years TJ and I had been testing out how to...

Researchers have developed an automated method that can track the development of harmful clumps of TAU protein related to Alzheimer's disease in the brain, according to work involving 443 individuals.

Whole body imaging detects more myeloma-defining disease, allows treatment to be initiated earlier Researchers from Kings College London have shown that whole body magnetic resonance imaging (WBMRI) not only detects more myeloma-defining disease than positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) but that it also allows critical treatment to be initiated earlier. In a study published today in the European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Im...

Researchers develop FLASH ultra-high-dose rate radiation therapy beam for cancer treatment A joint team of researchers from Radiation Oncology at Dartmouths and Dartmouth-Hitchcocks Norris Cotton Cancer Center (NCCC), Dartmouth Engineering, and Dartmouth-Hitchcocks Department of Surgery have developed a method to convert a standard linear accelerator (LINAC), used for delivery of radiation therapy cancer treatment, to a FLASH ultra-high-dose rate radiation therapy beam. The work, entitled "Elec...

Early life experiences can have an outsized effect on brain development and neurobiological health. New research is showing that those effects can be passed down to subsequent generations, reporting that the infant children of mothers who had experienced childhood emotional neglect displayed altered brain circuitry involved in fear responses and anxiety.

European researchers build Virtual Physiological Human to improve cardiovascular care European researchers have been building the Virtual Physiological Human (VPH), a full computer model of the body. Through this process, an EU-funded project focused on improving cardiovascular care, and several key results are now being implemented by industry. The ultimate aim of all this is to turn basic science into real medical practices that will benefit patients and improve care standards. “A key phras...
