Mapping mRNA through its life cycle within a cell
When Xiao Wang applied to faculty jobs, many of the institutions where she interviewed thought her research proposal — to study the life cycle of RNA in cells and how it influences normal development and disease — was too broad. However, that was not the case when she interviewed at MIT, where her future colleagues… Continue reading Mapping mRNA through its life cycle within a cell
From mechanisms to future therapy: a synopsis of isolated REM sleep behavior disorder as early synuclein-related disease
Parkinson disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and multiple system atrophy are synucleinopathies, characterized by neuronal loss, gliosis and the abnormal deposition of α-synuclein in vulnerable areas…
New biomarker test detects early tau tangles in Alzheimer’s disease
Years before tau tangles show up in brain scans of patients with Alzheimer’s disease, a biomarker test developed at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine can detect small amounts of the clumping-prone tau protein and its misfolded pathological forms that litter the brain, cerebrospinal fluid and potentially blood, new research published today in Nature… Continue reading New biomarker test detects early tau tangles in Alzheimer’s disease
Brain Stim Offers No Benefit for Post-Stroke Hand Function
Transcranial direct current stimulation was no better than sham stimulation in strengthening hand function after stroke when combined with movement therapy. Medscape Medical News
Early Thrombolysis May Help Cut Pontine Stroke Decline
IV thrombolysis given within 4.5 hours of acute pontine infarction may significantly reduce neurological deterioration vs other antithrombotics, new research suggests. Medscape Medical News
TWiV 1190: Clinical update with Dr. Daniel Griffin
In his weekly clinical update, Dr. Griffin and Vincent Racaniello discuss changes in access to public health information and aid mechanisms such as the return of MMWR, the largest tuberculosis outbreak in the US ever, lack of USAID in fighting Marburg and Ebola outbreaks in Africa, discussing if avian influenza virus is airborne, how eggs… Continue reading TWiV 1190: Clinical update with Dr. Daniel Griffin
