MAY 15, 2024 by Friedrich–Alexander University Erlangen–Nurnberg Credit: Med (2024). DOI: 10.1016/j.medj.2024.02.010Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a terrible disease in which a genetic mutation causes certain nerves responsible for sending signals to muscles to degenerate. This leads to muscles wasting away, and many patients have died a painful death due to this rare condition. Genetic...
by University of Oxford Credit: Sora Shimazaki from PexelsResearch presented at The Society for Reproductive Investigation Meeting summarized preliminary findings from patients with known or suspected endometriosis who were imaged with a SPECT-CT camera and subsequently underwent planned laparoscopic surgery, a key-hole surgical procedure to establish the presence, absence and location of endometriotic lesions. The...
by Pohang University of Science and Technology Ultrasound-photoacoustic dual modal imaging of TUT and mouse abdomen. Credit: POSTECHThe ‘ultrasound-photoacoustic dual-modal imaging system’ combines molecular imaging contrast with ultrasound imaging, and it can visualize molecular and structural information inside the body in real time without any ionizing radiation. This advantage gives it the potential to enhance...
by Pohang University of Science and Technology Vascular changes in acute and diabetic renal failure. Credit: POSTECHA research team at POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) has investigated kidney diseases using ultrafast ultrasound that captures 1,000 images in just one second. The research team has achieved imaging of the three-dimensional microvasculature of the kidneys using...
KANAZAWA UNIVERSITY IMAGE: WATER-SOLUBLE TETRAPHENYLETHENE (TPE) DERIVATIVES BEARING ANIONIC GROUPS EXHIBIT AGGREGATION-INDUCED EMISSION (AIE) BEHAVIOR SPECIFICALLY AT LIQUID-LIQUID INTERFACES. INTERFACIAL AIE PROCESS RESPONDS REVERSIBLY TO THE EXTERNALLY APPLIED POTENTIAL AT A BIOMEMBRANE-MIMETIC INTERFACE. Kanazawa, Japan – Researchers at Kanazawa University monitored the emission of blue-green light from water-soluble tetraphenylethene molecules adsorbed at a phospholipid-adsorbed liquid-liquid interface made...
WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE Many of the most common diseases — cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular and lung disease, and even COVID-19 — have been linked to chronic or excessive inflammation. Blood tests can indicate that some part of a person’s body is inflamed, but doctors don’t have a good way to zero in on the...
by Toby Leigh, University of Plymouth Research carried out by a University academic has shed new light on the fundamentals of how, and why, we make the decisions we do. In two separate studies, UKRI Future Leader Fellow and Lecturer in Psychology, Dr. Elsa Fouragnan has used her expertise in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)...
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — For more than 40 years, scientists have hypothesized the existence of enzyme clusters, or “metabolons,” in facilitating various processes within cells. Using a novel imaging technology combined with mass spectrometry, researchers at Penn State, for the first time, have directly observed functional metabolons involved in generating purines, the most abundant cellular...
