Using Ion Beams to Improve Brain Microscopy
Improving the way scientists can see the microscopic structures of the brain can improve our understanding of a host of brain diseases, like Alzheimer’s or multiple sclerosis. Studying these diseases is challenging and has been limited by accuracy of available models.To see the smallest parts of cells, scientists often use a technique called electron microscopy.
FAU and Insightec Partner to Use Focused Ultrasound to Treat Neurological Disorders
This agreement will enable FAU and Insightec to collaborate to advance scientific knowledge about the use of focused ultrasound to treat brain diseases, including Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. By harnessing acoustic energy, Insightec’s innovative technology uses focused ultrasound to treat diseases in different ways.
Astrocytes offer potential drug targets for Huntington’s disease
UCLA scientists discovered that astrocytes, a cell type long implicated in brain diseases, is remarkably malleable and shows responses in a mouse model that suggest potential targets for drugs for Huntington’s disease.
