Optogenetics has emerged as a transformative tool in the field of neuroscience, allowing researchers to manipulate neuronal activity with unprecedented precision. At the heart of this technology lies the use of adeno-associated viruses (AAVs), which serve as robust delivery vehicles for light-sensitive proteins into targeted neuronal populations. This article delves into the significance of ...
Structure of Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP) Family In vertebrates, the MMP family consists of 28 members, at least 23 of which are expressed in human tissues, 14 of which are expressed in the vascular system. MMPs are usually classified into collagenases, gelatinases, stromelysins, matrilysins, membrane-type (MT)-MMPs, and other MMPs based on their substrates and the organization of their ...
The process of iPSC differentiation to neurons and neuronal cells is of special importance for neurobiology and related disorders, considering the dearth of clinically relevant in vitro models available for research, drug screening and development, as well as the lack of therapy to reverse neuronal damage. Benefits and advantages of iPSC differentiation to neural stem cells (NSC), neurons and ...
Several improvements support the hypothesis that dynamic standing using the Innowalk is effective as an add-on to standard therapy in the treatment of children and young people with severe motor impairments. The study included 46 patients where 50% were diagnosed with cerebral palsy and 50% with diverse syndromes. The results show improvements on: Passive assisted motion (79%) Stimulation ...
Introducing Beacon Biosignals: a neurotechnology company founded to develop machine learning-enabled EEG neurobiomarkers and accelerate precision medicine for any disease state affecting the brain Founded by MD/PhDs and engineers from Harvard and MIT, Beacon is propelled by the vision of a computing platform designed to scale the interrogation of large brain datasets with unprecedented ...
One of the world’s leading figures in Artificial Intelligence, the renowned brain and cognitive scientist Newton Howard, PhD., will be at The Artificial Intelligence and Business Summit May 26 at the Intercontinental Dubai Festival City and will be available for interviews with Dubai and international media. The annual event for established professionals in the crypto and blockchain space ...
1 billion people around the world are currently suffering from neurological disorders, and the number is growing by the day. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative impact on the healthcare system’s ability to effectively diagnose and treat these individuals. However, despite the growing numbers, action has not been taken by world leaders, creating a huge unmet need. This ...
An adult human brain contains approximately 86 billion neurons, along with about 85 billion non-neuronal cells. All those cells work together to manage motor control, sensory perception, heart rate, breathing, and more. While the human brain is extremely complex, with the ability to process language, it is not totally unique. Most vertebrate brains are quite similar; they all need similar ...

During this spring, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed every aspect of life. The business environment has changed not to mention the healthcare sector where the very foundations have been tested around the world. The news have been filled with corona topics and at times the pandemic has seemed to hide other alarming issues: for example, it has been reported in the US that ...
Good News for Cancer and Heart Disease Patients: US Nuclear Partner Achieves Critical Milestone Proving New Way to Fill Multi-Billion/Year Shortage of Radioisotopes for Diagnostics and Treatments The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine warns about severe shortages of radioisotopes that are required to non-invasively diagnose heart disease, cancer, other health issues, and ...
METAFORA is proud to announce that its first publication related to the use of its technology to diagnose a rare metabolic disease rapidly and efficientely has been accepted for publication in the reference journal, Annals of Neurology. The test is being commercialized under the name METAglut1 and was recently CE marked. It is available in France through the CERBA network of clinical testing ...
