Proteomics and AI bring earlier risk prediction into sharper focus
From Alzheimer’s risk to cardiovascular prediction, this review shows how protein profiling and AI could help detect disease…
How the immune system may influence Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and related diseases
A sweeping review shows how the brain’s immune defenses can both fight and fuel neurodegeneration, revealing why timing,…
RNA barcoding maps neural connections with unprecedented resolution
By tagging neurons with molecular “barcodes,” researchers mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse brain with…
Study reveals pearling mechanism behind mitochondrial DNA spacing
Mitochondria are often described as the cell’s power plants, because they generate energy. To help them achieve this,…
