Saliva analysis could reveal risk of developing cancer, heart disease or Parkinson’s using molecular markers
A research team led by the University of the Basque Country has identified hundreds of molecular markers in saliva that could reveal the risk of a person developing major diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. Their results, published in npj Genomic Medicine, lay the foundation for the development of a powerful, non-invasive tool for early diagnosis and precision medicine.

Electric currents help paralyzed rats walk again after spinal cord damage
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and the University of Auckland in New Zealand have developed a groundbreaking bioelectric implant that restores movement in rats after injuries to the spinal cord. This breakthrough offers new hope for an effective treatment for humans suffering from loss of sensation and function due to spinal cord injury.

New instrument for enhanced imaging of nerve fibers in the brain
In order to understand the structure and functioning of the brain, neuroscientists need to study the complex, three-dimensional pathways and connections of nerve fibers. The intersection of multiple nerve fibers poses a particular challenge for neuroimaging.
