It is estimated that more than 240,000 cases of brain and nervous system tumors are diagnosed each year around the world. The most common and most lethal of these cancerous tumors are glioblastoma (GBM). What is Glioblastoma? Glioblastoma is a type of glioma, which is a brain tumor that begins in the star-shaped glial cells that surround and support nerve cells in the brain. GBM is a Grade IV ...
A team of scientists in Australia has taught a petri dish of brain cells to play Pong. According to an article from Input Magazine, “As Brett Kagan, chief scientific officer of Cortical Labs explains, these neurons are more than just a dumping of brain cells on a dish. They’re a network capable of learning and completing tasks. ‘We often refer to them as living in the ...

It’s a scene that plays out daily in operating rooms around the world: a surgeon removes a malignant brain tumour. But rather than registering the satisfaction of having saved a patient’s life, hanging in the air is an all-too-real statistic; in 99.5% of these operations, unseen cancer cells remain. That hidden cancer will eventually grow and spread, and the operation will have become ...

When someone suffers a stroke, time to proper care is critical. As Sense Neuro CTO and medical co-founder George Shaw, MD tells TechOhio, “not all hospitals are comprehensive stroke centers where they have the techniques to treat different types of strokes. You might be taken to the wrong hospital if EMS can’t determine what kind of stroke it is. If you need to be transferred from one ...

In science, there are a lot of terms that could easily mystify people without a research background; “translational” is not one of them. Translational research simply means to take findings from basic research and advance them into something that is ready to be tested in people in a clinical trial. Yesterday our Governing Board approved $15 million in funding for four projects as ...

Researchers at the Henry Ford Health System (Detroit, MI) and colleagues at Saneron CCEL Therapeutics, Inc. of Tampa, Florida, have found that when human umbilical cord blood cells (HUCBCs) were transplanted into test rats modeled with stroke, the addition of Simvastatin to the HUCBCs significantly increased the therapeutic benefit of the HUCBCs. The study was published in a recent issue of ...
New findings in mice suggest that the timing when the neurotransmitter acetylcholine is released in the brain's hippocampus may play a key role in regulating the strength of nerve cell connections, called synapses. Understanding the complex nature of neuronal signaling at synapses could lead to better understanding of learning and memory, and novel treatments for relevant disorders, such as ...
