A novel, noninvasive brain stimulation approach—known as transcranial temporal interference stimulation (TIs)—may offer a new way to treat motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease without the need for surgery, according to a pilot study appearing in eBioMedicine. The technique, which uses overlapping electrical currents to selectively target deep brain regions, significantly improved movement in patients compared with a sham treatment when targeting the subthalamic nucleus.

Findings from a new study have identified a new model for predicting outcomes for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a heart condition with a prevalence of one in 500 people and a frequent cause of sudden cardiac death.

Researchers at the TechMed Center of the University of Twente have built a swallowable soft robot that samples stomach fluid and measures acidity in real time.

Investigators from Mass General Brigham have developed an ultrasensitive test capable of detecting abnormal clumps of a protein called TDP-43, which defines a specific subtype of FTLD pathology called FTLD-TDP.
