Blood Biomarker Could Help To Detect Peripheral Artery Disease
Researchers have shown that high levels of a specific protein circulating in the blood accurately detect a severe type of peripheral artery disease that narrows the arteries in the legs and can raise the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Low-Cost, Portable Device Could Diagnose Heart Attacks in Minutes
Researchers have developed a sensor that could diagnose a heart attack in less than 30 minutes, according to a study published in Lab on a Chip.

Enhancing the Power of Attosecond Spectroscopy
A team of physicists has extended the attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (ATAS) theory. By extending ATAS theory, the team shows that this spectroscopy approach has sufficient resolution to “see” the follow-up decoherence of electron motion caused by a molecule’s nuclear rearrangement.

Neurons' Support Cells Explain How Body-Length Axons Stay Powered Up
Neurons send signals throughout the brain and the body along long processes called axons; these communication and information processes consume high levels of energy. A recent study shows that the support cells around axons provide a way to boost local energy production.

Treatment Designed To Reverse Vaccination and Train the Immune System
Scientists have developed a novel treatment that uses reverse vaccination to pre-expose the body to medications and build immune tolerance.

State-of-the-Art Imaging Reveals Live Deep Brain Neurons in Unprecedented Detail
A pioneering technique developed by the Prevedel Group at EMBL allows neuroscientists to observe live neurons deep inside the brain – or any other cell hidden within an opaque tissue.

Which Protein Best Predicts Alzheimer's Effects on Memory?
Researchers have compared how well different Alzheimer’s biomarkers predict the progression of the disease and its effect on the memory. They found that early accumulation of tau proteins in the brain as measured by PET scanner was more effective at predicting memory impairment than biomarkers in the cerebrospinal fluid or amyloid plaque in the brain.

Copper Cysteamine Inhibits the Proliferation of Deep-Seated Tumors
Two new papers explore the effects of copper cysteamine, a next-generation cancer photodrug, as a means to reduce radioactive doses and side effects when treating deep-seated tumor cells.
