In order to understand brain diseases, neuroscientists try to untangle the intricate nerve fiber labyrinth of our brain. Before analyzing brain tissue under a microscope, it is often soaked in paraffin wax to achieve high-quality sections. However, accurately mapping the densely packed nerves inside wax-treated brain slices was so far not possible.
Caricature artists exaggerate distinctive features of an individual, deepening a cleft chin or multiplying freckles. Yale researchers have now applied a similar approach to maps of neural connections, emphasizing individual differences to see if they yield useful information.
MIT researchers created microscopic wireless electronic devices that travel through blood and implant in target brain regions, where they provide electrical stimulation.
Cultured from induced pluripotent stem cells, “miBrains” integrate all major brain cell types and model brain structures, cellular interactions, activity, and pathological features.
Designed as a safe, accessible, and office-based alternative to surgical sterilization, FemBloc represents a paradigm shift in permanent contraception
A hidden structure inside the cell is rewriting how scientists understand leukemia. Beneath the microscope, what looked like disorder turned out to follow a simple physical rule—one that connects several major mutations behind the disease.
