'Roadmaps' of the brain reveal regions vulnerable to Alzheimer's disease


 E-Mail
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (JUNE 10, 2021) Much like a supply truck crossing the countryside, the misfolded proteins that damage neurons in Alzheimer s disease travel the roads of the brain, sometimes stopping and sometimes re-routing to avoid roadblocks, reports a study published in
The findings shed light on how tau proteins, which form tangled clumps that damage brain cells in Alzheimer s, move through the brain. The study also provides new insights into why some areas of the brain are more vulnerable to damage than other areas.
While the interconnected structure of the brain is essential to its function, these misfolded proteins commandeer that structure to travel through the brain and cause progressive degeneration, said Michael X. Henderson, Ph.D., an assistant professor at Van Andel Institute and corresponding author of the study. By understanding how these proteins travel through the brain and what causes certain neurons to be at risk for damage, we c ....

New study launched to more accurately diagnose early hepatocellular carcinoma


New study launched to more accurately diagnose early hepatocellular carcinoma
A first of its kind cohort study on patients at high risk of developing primary liver cancer also known as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), has been launched to diagnose HCC more accurately at an earlier stage and to predict an individual s likelihood of developing the cancer. HCC is the sixth most common cancer in the world but the third most common cause of cancer deaths globally. In Singapore, HCC is the third and fourth most common cause of cancer deaths, amongst males and females respectively.
While potentially curative treatment is possible with early diagnosis, only 20% of HCC cases are detected at a stage where cure is possible. This investigator-initiated multi-centre study led by the National Cancer Centre of Singapore (NCCS) called EarLy DEtection of HCC: miRNA, microbiome and imaGing biomArkers in the evolution of chroNiC livEr Disease in a high-risk prospective cohort (ELEGANCE), addr ....

Only 20% of primary liver cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are diagnosed at an early stage, which makes early detection an urgent, unmet healthcare need.
Study aims to develop more accurate diagnostics for early HCC, an AI algorithm to predict an individual s risk of developing HCC, and discover novel molecular targets to prevent the development of HCC. ....
