  • Brain decoder controls spinal cord stimulation

    Brain decoder controls spinal cord stimulation

    When a person sustains an injury to the spinal cord, the normal communication between the brain and the spinal circuits below the injury are interrupted, resulting in paralysis. Because the brain is functioning normally, as is the spinal cord below the injury, researchers have been working to re-establish the communication to allow for rehabilitation and potentially restore movement.

    Ismael Seáñez, assistant professor of biomedical engineering in the McKelvey School of Engineering at…

  • Long-term survival rates of some Acute Myeloid Leukemia patients could double with sensitive bone marrow test

    Long-term survival rates of some Acute Myeloid Leukemia patients could double with sensitive bone marrow test

    A highly sensitive bone marrow test could double survival rates for some groups of younger adults with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) by helping doctors identify if they might relapse up to three months earlier.

    The patient-specific molecular test can detect low levels of leukaemia cells in the body, known as minimal residual disease (MRD), which when left untreated causes the disease to relapse.

    The trial, published today in The Lancet Haematology and led by King’s College London, showed for…

    High blood sugar in adolescence tripled the risk of premature heart damage affecting females worse than males

    Persistently high blood sugar and insulin resistance significantly increased the risk of worsening functional and structural heart damage during growth from adolescence to young adulthood, a new study shows. The study was conducted in collaboration between the Baylor College of Medicine in the US, the University of Bern in Switzerland, Murdoch Children’s Research Institute in Australia, the Universities of Bristol and Exeter in the UK, and the University of Eastern Finland. The results…

    For years, Florida Tech’s Catherine Talbot, an assistant professor of psychology, has worked to understand the sociality of male rhesus monkeys and how low-social monkeys can serve as a model for humans with autism. Her most recent findings show that replenishing a deficient hormone, vasopressin, helped the monkeys become more social without increasing their aggression—a…

    University of Miami Miller School of Medicine researchers have identified molecular evidence linking human papillomavirus (HPV) to thyroid eye disease (TED) through molecular mimicry involving HPV capsid proteins and autoimmune targets. Elevated antibody levels against HPV appeared in participants with TED, suggesting a possible immunological connection…
