Ossining School District (Meagan Ryan is a finalist for the Neuroscience Research Prize)
Two Ossining High School seniors in the Science Research Program are finalists for the 2020 American Academy of Neurology and Child Neurology Society s Neuroscience Research Prize.
Meagan Ryan and Bonnie Lin are among 10 finalists for the award, which is designed to encourage high school students to research the brain and nervous system and recognize those with the potential to contribute to neuroscience. The organizations will announce four winners in January.
Meagan studied some of the changes that occur in the brain during long periods of withdrawal and relapse in cocaine addiction. She looked at the SWI/SNF remodeling complex – a group of proteins involved in gene expression and repairing damaged DNA – in mice with chronic cocaine addiction and long-term withdrawal. She learned that multiple proteins in the remodeling complex decreased after re-exposure to the drug, which sugge
Effect of Neurological Issues on COVID Mortality
People hospitalized with COVID-19 and neurological problems including stroke and confusion, have a higher risk of dying than other COVID-19 patients, according researchers at Montefiore Health System and Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the journal
These findings have the potential to identify and focus treatment efforts on individuals most at risk and could decrease COVID-19 deaths, a media release from Albert Einstein College of Medicine suggests.
The study looked at data from 4,711 COVID-19 patients who were admitted to Montefiore during the 6-week period between March 1, 2020 and April 16, 2020. Of those patients, 581 (12%) had neurological problems serious enough to warrant brain imaging. These individuals were compared with 1,743 non-neurological COVID-19 patients of similar age and disease severity who were admitted during the same period.
Immune-inflammatory mediators indicate that rejection and tissue injury can be avoided with drugs
Immune inflammatory mediators are critical in pathology, transplantation, and regenerative medicine, scientists report in The American Journal of Pathology
Controlling inflammation after transplantation of organs, cells, or tissues is critical for graft survival; however, it can be difficult. Continuing injuries due to chronic rejection can be particularly problematic.
Now, a team of researchers from Albert Einstein College of Medicine report that neutralizing the cell-signaling molecule, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), can prevent cascades of injurious molecules and signals after cell transplantation in
