Harvard neuroscientist seeks to capture synapse-level connectome data from a mouse brain

The human brain is a tangled highway of wires emanating from nearly 100 billion neurons, all of which communicate across trillions of junctions called synapses. "Depressingly complex," Harvard neuroscientist Jeff Lichtman calls it.

Controlling traditional cardiovascular risk factors can prevent Alzheimer's and other dementias

Cardiovascular disease and dementia frequently occur together in elderly people. Nevertheless, few longitudinal studies have examined how atherosclerosis and its associated risk factors affect brain health from middle age.

Engineered ACE2 decoy shows promise as COVID-19 treatment

Researchers from Japan demonstrated that an engineered angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, which showed the potential to remarkably reduce the emergence of resistant virus strains, could successfully exert its therapeutic effect in primates, which may open avenues for the application of the technology for the treatment of humans.

Study shows efficacy and safety of OCT-guided strategy for percutaneous coronary intervention

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is non-inferior to intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2023.

Patients with heart conditions should practice good hygiene to prevent infective endocarditis

Patients with specific cardiac conditions such as valvular heart disease and congenital abnormalities, or those requiring a pacemaker, should practice good dental and skin hygiene to help prevent rare but potentially deadly infections of the heart's inner lining and valves, according to European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Guidelines on infective endocarditis, published online today in European Heart Journal.
