An electronic biosensor based on DNA aptamers developed by a team of researchers can detect biomarkers in whole blood samples without the use of reagents. DNA aptamers recognise marker proteins as well as antibodies, but they are simpler to prepare and more adaptable. Without any additional
A team of researchers from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), HES-SO Geneva, and EPFL discovered that practising and listening to music can slow cognitive decline.
Physical activity is frequently mentioned as a way to improve both physical and mental health. Researchers at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology discovered that it may also directly improve brain health. They investigated how the chemical signals released by muscles du
A therapeutic tool focused on emotional awareness that increased activation and connectivity of an emotion-regulating centre in the brain has been discovered by researchers. The therapy may be useful in the long-term treatment and prevention of relapse in bipolar disorder (BD).
Researchers are increasingly using the blood-brain barrier, which allows only certain molecules to pass from the blood into the brain, to get therapies into the brain after a stroke.
Researchers at ETH Zurich have used new data and machine learning to develop a model that can tell how stressed people are just from the way they type and use a computer mouse
UC Davis researchers are the first to describe how oligodendrocyte-lineage cells transfer cell material to neurons in the mouse brain. Their findings show that these cells and neurons interact in a coordinated nuclear manner.
A new discovery by the University of Warwick researchers may help prevent bacteria from becoming contaminated with viruses, reducing disruption and costs in industry and research.
