People with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer’s disease have weaker gamma waves in their brain than healthy peers, a discovery that may lead to new ways to diagnose these conditions.
Researchers have identified a gene that plays a minor role in congenital heart disease, using a combined approach that could aid studies of this and other multigenic diseases.
Study reveals that brain injuries can cause intracellular transport defects that can potentially lead to protein build-up and neurodegenerative disease.
Scientists have described a miniature 3D bone marrow model that can both predict the response of patients to a new therapy for blood platelet disorders and facilitate studies to better understand these disorders.
A new study that upends the idea that T cells can perfectly distinguish between healthy and infected cells may lead to improved approaches to treating cancer and autoimmune diseases.
A rare mutation that causes a Parkinson’s disease-like disorder in young children interferes with dopamine transporters in the brain, suggesting that treatments targeting the transporters may be beneficial.
Personalised models of cognitive decline offer novel insights into the multiscale alterations in the elderly and diseased brain, with important implications for identifying future treatment targets.
Findings suggest measuring the number of mutations that lead to antibiotic resistance in bacteria is crucial for determining how likely antibiotics are to fail, and should be used to inform new treatment strategies aimed at preventing resistance evolution.
Researchers have described a new approach to analysing the forces at play behind diseased heart vessels, which could help cardiologists predict heart attacks in patients.
