August 12, 2024 by Uppsala University Credit: CC0 Public Domain Researchers at Uppsala University Hospital and Uppsala University have demonstrated that a simple blood test that reflects brain health can predict which people are most at risk of suffering a stroke. The discovery could contribute to more individualized treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation. The...

August 12, 2024 by CUNY Advanced Science Research Center The stem-like cells called oligodendrocyte progenitors (red) in the adult brain are characterized by abundant histone H4 acetylation tags (green text) that regulate their proliferation and affect the size of the progenitor pool available for myelin repair. When acetylation is blocked (red text), fewer cells are...
