Lifelong Brain-Stimulating Practices Leads to Lower Alzheimer’s Protein Levels
Neuroimaging scans have revealed that individuals with no symptoms of Alzheimer’s who engaged in cognitively stimulating activities throughout their lives had fewer deposits of beta-amyloid, a destructive protein that is major characteristic of the disease. More...01 Feb 2012
Noninvasive Fluorescent Molecular Imaging Probes Identify Lymph Node Metastasis
Using two cell surface markers found to be highly expressed in breast cancer lymph node metastases, scientists have developed targeted, fluorescent molecular imaging probes that can noninvasively detect breast cancer lymph node metastases. More...30 Jan 2012
