Researchers at BarrowNeurological & University of Pittsburgh created an atlas of 334,376 cells in the brain and how they respond to traumatic brain injury (TBI). The data could help doctors treat #TBI more precisely, replacing the standard one-size-fits-all approach. eurekalert.org/news-releases/… #NIH
Today, National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) shared results of a study that found preteen suicide rates have increased steadily since 2008. These alarming findings show we must find ways to better identify and help at-risk kids in culturally and age-appropriate ways. go.nih.gov/qNXCl4t #NIH
Researchers studying mini-lung organoids found that #COVID19 infects more types of lung cells than previously known, and that lung cells can initiate a response to the virus independently from the immune system. @SBPdiscovery UC San Diego eurekalert.org/news-releases/… #NIH
A new #NIH-funded study at Harvard Medical School finds that people are more likely to catch certain strains of tuberculosis if they share the same geographic origin as the bacteria. This insight could lead to better TB prevention strategies eurekalert.org/news-releases/… #PublicHealth #TB
This week on the blog: A new study at Test Account maps the effects of #psilocybin, an ingredient in “magic mushrooms”, on the brain, with the goal of understanding why the drug has shown potential benefit for treating mental health conditions. directorsblog.nih.gov/2024/08/15/map… #NIH
Very much enjoyed my visit to University of Oklahoma last week! I learned about the great work of #NIH-funded researchers there & discussed a new NIH initiative to enable collection and use of high-quality electronic health data for research.
.Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers found the OpgH protein is crucial for maintaining bacterial shape & integrity. Loss of OpgH disrupts the cell envelope, leading to the bacterium's death. This may create opps to develop antibiotics targeting these proteins. bit.ly/3WQsLBI
On my blog: new #NIH-funded research at WashU Medicine offers clues as to how zebrafish can regenerate their own spinal cords, information that might be used to help develop treatments for spinal cord injury. directorsblog.nih.gov/2024/09/05/new…
