Active disease process in early CTE differs substantially from late-stage disease

Millions of people, including athletes who play contact sports, members of the military and victims of domestic violence, are exposed to repetitive head impacts (RHI), which is the primary risk factor for developing chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

Expert Brad Sutton explains how MRI has changed the scope of medical research in 50 years

March 16, 2023, marks 50 years since Paul Lauterbur published his seminal Nature paper establishing zeugmatography - now familiar to most as magnetic resonance imaging or simply MRI - as a viable way to visualize objects with a magnetic field and radiofrequency signals.

New review outlines the history and current status of long-acting growth hormone therapies

In 1957, Maurice Raben successfully isolated and purified the growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland, opening up a potential avenue of GH therapies.

Bitter taste receptors are a potential target for treating asthma or COPD

Surprisingly, bitter taste receptors are not only located in the mouth, but also elsewhere in the body, including the airways.

Insulin deficiency leads to reduced pancreas size in type 1 diabetes

Individuals with Type 1 diabetes have a smaller pancreas than people without diabetes. This is surprising because insulin-producing beta cells account for just a small fraction of the pancreas, so the loss of beta cells in Type 1 diabetes would not be expected to reduce pancreas size.

Aging may hamper the neural processing of facial expressions of emotion, study finds

Researchers analyzed the impact of aging on face processing and found that it may hamper the neural processing of facial expressions of emotion, and this difficulty may be intensified during the identification of emotions from the faces of older people.

Advancing our clocks in the spring affects sleep patterns and health

If you're feeling tired this coming week, don't be surprised. Moving our clocks ahead one hour to shift into daylight saving time (which occurs at 2 a.m. Sunday) disrupts the body's biological clock, affecting sleep patterns and how we function, according to a UT Southwestern Medical Center neuroscientist who researches circadian rhythms.
