(NewMediaWire) โ€” February 2, 2023 โ€” DALLAS Among people who received more intensive treatment for high blood pressure, evaluations of MRI scans indicated a positive change in brain structures involved in its ability to clear toxins and other byproducts, according to preliminary research to be presented at the American Stroke Associationโ€™s International Stroke Conference 2023. The meeting, held in person in Dallas and virtually, Feb. 8โ€“10, 2023, is a world premier meeting for researchers and clinicians dedicated to the science of stroke and brain health.

The study is the first to examine whether intensive blood pressure treatment may slow, or reverse structural changes related to the volume of the brainโ€™s perivascular spaces, areas of the brain around the blood vessels that are involved in the clearance of toxins and other byproducts. These areas tend to enlarge as people get older or have more cardiovascular risk factors.

Clinical trials show encouraging safety profile for brain-computer interface turning thoughts into action

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] โ€” More than two decades ago, a team of Brown University researchers set out with an ambitious goal to provide people with paralysis a revolutionary neurotechnology capable of turning thoughts about movement into actual action, using a tiny device that would one day be implanted in the surface of the brain. Their work led to an ongoing, multi-institution effort to create the BrainGate brain-computer interface, designed to allow clinical trial participants with paralysis to control assistive devices like computers or robotic limbs just by thinking about the action they want to initiate.

Open Access Paper:

https://n.neurology.org/content/early/2023/01/13/WNL.


In an important step toward a medical technology that could help restore independence of people with paralysis, researchers find the investigational BrainGate neural interface system has low rates of associated adverse events.

Exploring the Inner Workings of Human Cells โ€” Database of 200,000 Cell Images Yields New Mathematical Framework

Working with hundreds of thousands of high-resolution images, researchers from the Allen Institute for Cell Science, a division of the Allen Institute, put numbers on the internal organization of human cells โ€” a biological concept that has proven incredibly difficult to quantify until now.

The scientists also documented the diverse cell shapes of genetically identical cells grown under similar conditions in their work. Their findings were recently published in the journal Nature.

โ€œThe way cells are organized tells us something about their behavior and identity,โ€ said Susanne Rafelski, Ph.D., Deputy Director of the Allen Institute for Cell Science, who led the study along with Senior Scientist Matheus Viana, Ph.D. โ€œWhatโ€™s been missing from the field, as we all try to understand how cells change in health and disease, is a rigorous way to deal with this kind of organization. We havenโ€™t yet tapped into that information.โ€

Gene editing company plans to resurrect the dodo

Colossal Biosciences, a genetic engineering company focused on de-extincting past species, has announced $150 million in Series B funding, which it plans to use for bringing back the iconic dodo.

The resurrection of several extinct species is predicted to occur within the next five years. One company aiming to make that a reality is Texas-based startup Colossal Biosciences, founded in 2021 by some of the worldโ€™s leading experts in genomics. In May 2022, it appeared in the World Economic Forumโ€™s list of Technology Pioneers and it won Genomics Innovation of the Year at the BioTech Breakthrough Awards.

Although early detection of many types of cancer has contributed to the recent increases in cancer survival rates, the survival rate for has remained almost unchanged for over 20 years. Partly this is due to their late detection. Physicians often discover only after the onset of neurological symptoms, such as loss of movement or speech, by which time the tumor has reached a considerable size. Detecting the tumor when it is still small, and starting treatment as soon as possible, should help to save lives.

One possible sign that a person has a brain tumor is the presence of tumor-related extracellular vesicles (EVs) in their urine. EVs are nano-sized vesicles involved in a variety of functions, including cell-to-cell communication. Because those found in patients have specific types of RNA and membrane proteins, they could be used to detect the presence of cancer and its progression.

12 Patients of US Clinical Trial Emerge โ€˜Cancer-Freeโ€™; Does This Mean Cancer Has A Cure?

Feature image credits: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

It was a life-changing day for 12 patients living in the United States when they found that their cancer had vanished, thanks to a small clinical trial. Of the total number of patients, these were the patients who completed the trial.

The New York Times reported that a drug named Dostarlimab was administered to these patients โ€” all suffering from rectal cancer โ€” over six months. All 12 patients entered remission after the period.
