Discovering the Fluidity of Brain Tissue Space

Imagine your brain as a vast universe, with different pockets and regions interconnected by a fluid network. A recent study explored how aging affects the distribution of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within brain tissue. Using advanced imaging techniques, researchers mapped out the CSF fraction in different brain areas of healthy adults ranging from 20 to 80 […]

Comparing Angioplasty and Medical Therapy for Stroke Prevention!

Imagine a highway with a bad traffic jam caused by a roadblock. Just like that, when your brain’s blood vessels get blocked due to sICAS, it can lead to a stroke. In this study, researchers investigated the effectiveness of angioplasty and stenting versus aggressive medical management in preventing recurrent strokes in patients with sICAS. They […]

Cracking the Code: Predicting Alzheimer’s Subtypes with RNA Modification

In the quest to understand Alzheimer’s disease (AD), scientists have turned their attention to a common RNA chemical modification called m7G. This modification plays a role in the development of many diseases, including AD. By analyzing gene expression data and immune signatures, researchers identified m7G-related AD subtypes and developed a machine learning model to predict […]
