Imagine the USH2A gene as a Rubik’s Cube, hiding the secrets to unlocking a revolution in gene editing and therapy for inherited retinal dystrophies (IRD). In this study, scientists set out to solve the puzzle of USH2A mutations, which are responsible for a majority of IRD cases. Like explorers mapping out uncharted territories, they analyzed […]
Imagine exploring a vast forest, where each area has its own unique ecosystem. In the aging brain, periventricular white matter hyperintensities (PWMHs) and deep white matter hyperintensities (DWMHs) are like two different ecosystems, each with its own distinct mechanisms. PWMHs appear to be primarily caused by damage to veins due to dysfunction in the glymphatic […]
Imagine your brain as a car battery, powering your cognitive abilities. In a fascinating study, scientists explored the concept of ‘cognitive reserve’—your brain’s backup power source. They wanted to see how this reserve affects the progression of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer’s disease. To investigate, they analyzed cognitive tests and brain scans […]
