Study: Gene activity analysis aids in categorisation of brain disease
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
Yashar Zeighami's research at McGill University in Canada provides a fresh method for characterising brain disorders. The study, published in the open-access journal PLOS Biology, suggests that comparing transcriptomes (the map of activity for all genes in the genome) associated with differe

Patients receive too little rehab therapy after stroke: Research
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
According to a new UCLA-led study that monitored over 500 patients across 28 acute care hospitals in their first year after a stroke, many patients do not receive much rehabilitation therapy following a stroke, despite clear evidence that higher levels can reduce long-term disability.
