Can Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease unravel the mysteries of Alzheimer?
Recent studies on iatrogenic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) raised concerns that one of the hallmark lesions of Alzheimer disease (AD), amyloid-β (Aβ), may be transmitted from human-to-human. The neuropathology of AD-related lesions is complex. Therefore, many aspects need to be considered in deciding on this issue. Observations of recent studies can be summarized as follows: 1) The frequency ...
متن کاملUsing Brain Imaging to Unravel the Mysteries of Stuttering
After many decades of attributing stuttering to causes ranging from childhood trauma to overly anxious personalities, scientists have used neuroimaging techniques to uncover measurable differences in the brain activity of people who stutter versus fluent speakers. But while researchers have made great strides in understanding stuttering in adults, the neural basis of stuttering in children larg...
متن کاملCancer Cell Fusion: Mechanisms Slowly Unravel
Although molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways driving invasion and metastasis have been studied for many years, the origin of the population of metastatic cells within the primary tumor is still not well understood. About a century ago, Aichel proposed that cancer cell fusion was a mechanism of cancer metastasis. This hypothesis gained some support over the years, and recently became the...
متن کاملTaming the Data Deluge to Unravel the Mysteries of the Universe
Modern Astrophysics is one of the most data intensive research fields in the world and is driving many of the required innovations in the ‘big data’ space. Foremost in astronomy in terms of data generation is radio astronomy, and in the last decade an increase in global interest and investment in the field had led to a large number of new or upgraded facilities which are each currently generati...
متن کاملWill the Making of Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells in Vitro Help Unravel Their Mysteries?
In this issue, two papers describe the in vitro generation of an intriguing subset of human dendritic cells (DCs), the plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs [1, 2]). For nearly 20 years after their discovery (3), DCs had to be painstakingly isolated from tissues (4). Progress was rather slow, as DCs represent a minor cell population in all tissues, and relatively few investigators appreciated their importance...
