The emergence of a novel human coronavirus, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was first detected in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. SARS-CoV-2 causes the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a heterogeneous disease. Due to its rapid spread across the world within a short period, by March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared […]
Job descriptions for the thousands of types of neurons in the brain typically include a common function: release chemicals called neurotransmitters to communicate across circuit connections called synapses. In a new study funded by the National Institutes of Health, the lab of MIT Professor Troy Littleton will seek to understand how neurons construct synapses of […]
Alcohol and cannabis use during adolescence is a well-known risk factor for alcohol use disorder (AUD) and cannabis use disorder (CUD) during adulthood. Whether early drug use plays a causative role in predisposing teens to AUD and CUD is unknown, but researchers are investigating the possibility that it may have an impact on neural development. […]
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) represents a tomographic imaging method that is used to determine the spatial distribution of magnetic material injected into the bloodstream. Iron-oxide based superparamagnetic nanoparticles are used as a suitable material for the purpose of this quite novel imaging technique. The concept of MPI was conceived in 2001 by Dr. Bernhard Gleich […]
Memory is as much about the future as it is the past. Whether experiencing something new, or something we’ve experienced a hundred times, people use memories of the past to navigate subsequent encounters. Traditionally, psychologists believed that the more ingrained a memory of something was, the more difficult it would be to update your understanding […]
Researchers at the University of Minnesota, working with Epic, say they’ve validated an artificial intelligence algorithm that can assess chest X-rays for potential cases of COVID-19. The tool, which was also developed in collaboration with M Health Fairview and already deployed at its 12 hospitals, will be made available through Epic to other providers. WHY […]
Cancer diagnosis requires a lengthy process of multiple analyses of tissue biopsies, impeding the quick and early detection of cancers. In a new study, researchers from Osaka University developed a novel imaging system that uses near-infrared light to be less invasive and more time efficient than the conventional approach. Histopathological analysis, or the investigation of […]
(HealthDay)—Tauvid (flortaucipir F18), a radioactive diagnostic agent, was approved to image tau pathology in patients with cognitive impairment being evaluated for Alzheimer disease, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Thursday. The drug is indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to estimate the density and distribution of aggregated tau neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). Tauvid is […]
