The diagnosis of AD and PD are still challenging tasks in clinical practice, partly due to the lack of accessible and accurate blood biomarkers. Here, different classification algorithms were applied to transcriptomics data to...

The cell adhesion molecule VCAM1 directs microglia towards ApoE-associated amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques, leading to Aβ clearance, according to new research published in Nature Aging. The results of the study highlight this signalling pathway as...

Figure 1 shows a diagram of the data processing pipeline used for this research, described in more detail in the following section.Figure 1Methodological pipeline for the prediction of cognitive outcome. (1) We separate the different...

Research on long-term memories has largely focused on the role of neurons -- the brain's nerve cells. However, in recent years, scientists are discovering that other cell types are also vital in memory formation...

Researchers have established the protein p53 as critical for regulating sociability, repetitive behavior, and hippocampus-related learning and memory in mice, illuminating the relationship between the protein-coding gene TP53 and neurodevelopmental and conditions like autism...

New research hints at a few ways fatty foods affect cells in the brain, a finding that could help explain the link between a high-fat diet and impaired memory -- especially as we age. The...

Eighteen student interns from the 2023 RIDR cohort – including 5 high school students, 2 undergraduate college students, and 11 medical school students – presented their final research projects at...

A recent article in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine reports findings of a multi-center retrospective study that compares bone scan with PSMA PET for initial staging of prostate cancer. Authors include UCSF...

We are excited to welcome three new faculty members to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging. With Dr. Kang Wang's background in MRI technology...

People differ significantly in their memory performance. Researchers at the University of Basel have now discovered that certain brain signals are related to these differences. While it is well known that certain brain regions play...
