How brain trauma triggers Alzheimer’s disease: Study – World News Network
A study reveals that traumatic brain injury alters the small vessels in the brain, resulting in an accumulation of amyloid beta -- a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. The findings suggest that vascular dysfunction could be an early driver in neurodegenerative disorders rather than being caused by neuronal damage.
Researchers create biohybrid hands with human muscles – World News Network
A biohybrid hand which can move objects and make a scissor gesture has been created. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown muscle tissue bundled into sushilike rolls to give the fingers enough strength to contract. It is named multiple muscle tissue actuators (MuMuTAs).
Researchers discover new type of Brain cells that allow you to remember objects – World News Network
Researchers have discovered a new type of neuron that plays a fundamental role in recognition memory. It means how the brain registers the difference between new and familiar objects and forms long-term memories. These are named Ovoid Cells. They are found in the hippocampus of mice, humans and other mammals.
Intestinal-womb connection successfully repaired through innovative endoscopic surgery – World News Network
Using a novel approach, the medical team employed a cardiac occluder device, typically used in heart surgeries, to seal the fistulas, offering a new treatment option for this challenging condition.
New treatment offers quick cure for common cause of high blood pressure – World News Network
Doctors at Queen Mary University of London, Barts Health NHS Trust, and University College London have led the development of Targeted Thermal Therapy (Triple T), a simple, minimally invasive procedure that has the potential to revolutionise medical management of a common but often overlooked cause of high blood pressure.
Study uses clues from body to understand signaling in brain – World News Network
Our biceps and brain cells might have more in common than we believed. According to a new study from the Lippincott-Schwartz Lab, a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in the brain that may…
