The Relationship Between hs-CRP and Alzheimer’s: Protecting Brain Structure and Cognitive Function

Imagine the brain as an intricate puzzle, constantly changing and evolving. In a new study, researchers investigated the impact of hs-CRP concentration on brain structure alterations and cognitive trajectory in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). By analyzing data from over 400 patients with subjective cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment, and AD, they discovered a fascinating connection. The […]

Unleashing the Power of CACTUS: Generating Realistic Microstructure Substrates

Imagine you’re a baker creating a cake that looks and tastes like a real cactus. To achieve this, you need a recipe that accurately replicates the texture, color, and complexity of a cactus. Similarly, scientists studying white matter microstructure need realistic substrates to validate their models. That’s where CACTUS comes in! CACTUS is like a […]

Perfusion-weighted software written in Python for DSC-MRI analysis

Imagine you’re a detective investigating a crime scene. You have all these different clues and evidence, but you need to piece them together to understand what happened. That’s exactly what scientists do when they study brain diseases using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). They use a technique called dynamic susceptibility-weighted contrast-enhanced (DSC) perfusion imaging to gather […]
