Lanthanide carriers advance next generation biomedical imaging and theranostics
Lanthanide carriers could help define the next generation of biomedical imaging and fast-track the emerging field of theranostics-approaches…
New method reveals three-dimensional nanoplastic distribution in neonatal mouse brains
Nanoplastics-plastic particles smaller than one micrometer-are generated through the degradation and abrasion of plastic products and are increasingly…
A closer look at Parkinson’s brains finds tau where standard tests saw little
By examining six brain regions at single-molecule resolution, researchers identified a layer of tau pathology that conventional tissue…
Chemistry in Pictures: Echoes of microplastics
These blood-red clumps are what polypropylene microplastics look like in the body of a live mouse, as…
NIH grant funds study on stroke-related urinary incontinence
Urinary incontinence is a common but frequently overlooked consequence of stroke. Now, researchers from the Mark and Mary…
Amyloid beta misfolding predicts Alzheimer’s years before symptoms appear
Widely used Alzheimer’s biomarker P-tau 217 reliably detects the disease only at the clinical stage. The protein misfolding…
New imaging platform tracks hundreds of neurons at unprecedented depths
The brain is a vast, densely interconnected network of neurons computing in parallel. Watching these computations unfold in…
Frequent TV watching links to higher white matter lesion volume
A 24-year ARIC analysis suggests that the setting in which people sit may matter for brain measures linked…
New light-sheet imaging system tracks brain seizure dynamics in 3D
Seizures can race through the brain in seconds, making them difficult to capture in detail. To overcome this…
Fish oil supplementation during pregnancy changes two childhood brain metabolic markers
A decade after mothers received EPA- and DHA-rich fish oil, MRI scans revealed subtle metabolic differences in their…
New ctDNA blood test improves personalized prostate cancer treatment
A noninvasive DNA blood test can identify metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients who are most likely to…
Blood p-tau217 levels signal cognitive impairment risk years before symptoms emerge
A six-cohort analysis links higher baseline p-tau217 to rising 5- and 10-year risks, bringing presymptomatic risk models closer…
