NIH Researcher Recognized for Contributions to Structural Biology Techniques Tuesday, January 19, 2021 IRP researcher Robert Tycko was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2020 for his important contributions to the field of structural biology. The National Academy of Sciences (NAS), established in 1863, is comprised of the United States’ most distinguished scientific scholars, including nearly 500 Nobel Prize winners. Members of the NAS are elected by their peers and entrusted with the responsibility of providing independent, objective advice on national matters related to scienc...

Researchers from the National Institutes of Health have discovered Jekyll and Hyde immune cells in the brain that ultimately help with brain repair but early after injury can lead to fatal swelling, suggesting that timing may be critical when administering treatment. These dual-purpose cells, which are called myelomonocytic cells and which are carried to the brain by the blood, are just one type of brain immune cell that NIH researchers tracked, watching in real-time as the brain repaired itself after injury.

Now gone for three years, what could be a little irritating at times was perhaps one of the best things he could have done to ensure his longevity and maintain his quality of life. When combined with the social life he built, it's no wonder he was able to fight off the cognitive decline so many men fear as they age.  Moreover, the enjoyment brought by his routines are textbook case studies from the psychology of well-being, offering men of all ages a lesson on behaviors that can serve them well into their later years. Maintaining cognitive health According to Harvard Medical School, continu...

In an in-depth study of how COVID-19 affects a patient's brain, National Institutes of Health researchers consistently spotted hallmarks of damage caused by thinning and leaky brain blood vessels in tissue samples from patients who died shortly after contracting the disease. In addition, they saw no signs of SARS-CoV-2 in the tissue samples...
