Could focused ultrasound really be used to treat Alzheimer’s

Focused ultrasound is a safe and effective way to target and open areas of the blood-brain barrier, potentially allowing for new treatment approaches to Alzheimer’s disease, according to initial study results presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). There currently is no effective treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, the most common cause

Many forensic methods have never been scientifically validated – a major issue

MANY FORENSIC METHODS HAVE NEVER BEEN SCIENTIFICALLY VALIDATED, SCIENTISTS NOTE IN EDITORIAL Many of the “forensic science” methods commonly used in criminal cases and portrayed in popular police TV dramas have never been scientifically validated and may lead to unjust verdicts, according to an editorial in this week’s Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The authors

Sound waves could be the future of biomedical research, diagnosing and treatment

Sound waves could be the future of biomedical research, diagnosing and treatment, says Peng Li, a chemistry professor at West Virginia University. Li is a data analyst for an ongoing research study using an acoustic device to separate extracellular vesicles for a deeper look at their properties. “What we are doing here matters because if we isolate these properties,

Complex coordinated missions using muliple UAVs now possible

A West Virginia University mathematics researcher has developed an algorithm to mobilize unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in team missions. The new technology allows a team of UAVs to fly autonomously to complete complex coordinated missions. “Someone on the ground sets an area to be scanned by the UAVs. Within the area, the person selects different

Sequestration and fuel reserves

Storing carbon dioxide to release liquid fuels A technique for trapping the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide deep underground could at the same be used to release the last fraction of natural gas liquids from ailing reservoirs, thus offsetting some of the environmental impact of burning fossil fuels. So says a paper to be published in

African antimalarial research bears first fruit

Promising new compound becomes the first stemming from an African–MMV collaboration to enter preclinical development A recently discovered compound from the aminopyridine class, code named MMV390048, caused quite a stir at the MMV Expert Scientific Advisory Committee (ESAC) meeting in Toulouse, France. The compound shows potent activity against multiple points in the malaria parasite’s lifecycle.
