PET sheds light on Alzheimer's disease genetic risk.
T wenty-plus years of positron emission tomography (PET) data show that relative to cognitively intact controls, persons with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have reduced 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) uptake. This phenomenon is seen in brain regions containing amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, and supports the assertion that AD brains have reduced glucose consumption (1). From a dia...
متن کاملNon-Linear Optical Microscopy Sheds Light on Cardiovascular Disease
Many cardiac diseases have been associated with increased fibrosis and changes in the organization of fibrillar collagen. The degree of fibrosis is routinely analyzed with invasive histological and immunohistochemical methods, giving a limited and qualitative understanding of the tissue's morphological adaptation to disease. Our aim is to quantitatively evaluate the increase in fibrosis by thre...
متن کاملThe worm sheds light on anesthetic mechanisms
One hundred and sixty five years have passed since the first documented use of volatile anesthetics to aid in surgery, but we have yet to understand the underlying mechanism of action of these drugs. There is no question that, in vitro, volatile anesthetics can affect the function of numerous neuronal and non-neuronal proteins. In fact, volatile anesthetics are capable of binding such diverse p...
متن کاملBEAMing sheds light on drug resistance.
Targeted therapies against somatically altered genes are currently used for the treatment of many human cancers. The nascent technology known as BEAMing has the potential to increase the clinical utility of these agents because it allows for the detection of cancer mutations in peripheral blood, providing a rapid assessment of tumor mutation status.
متن کاملPyrosequencing sheds light on DNA sequencing.
DNA sequencing is one of the most important platforms for the study of biological systems today. Sequence determination is most commonly performed using dideoxy chain termination technology. Recently, pyrosequencing has emerged as a new sequencing methodology. This technique is a widely applicable, alternative technology for the detailed characterization of nucleic acids. Pyrosequencing has the...
