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

On my blog: It’s been a mystery how a nursing mother’s bones stay strong. In a mouse study, scientists discovered a maternal brain hormone that maintains and rebuilds bone strength, findings that might be used for treating bone fractures & osteoporosis. bit.ly/4c8aYvm

#CPR saves lives. However, a new #NIH-supported study reveals disparities in survival outcomes among Black adults and women with bystander CPR. Identifying factors contributing to poorer outcomes will be critical for improving survival. go.nih.gov/X3meHC5

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

Research to promote health in Native American communities is a priority for #NIH. Yesterday we launched a program to support Native communities in leading public health research to address overdose, substance use, pain & mental health: go.nih.gov/sqV1O1h

NIH is dedicated to preventing and treating health conditions associated with extreme heat. Learn more about our efforts: bit.ly/4dq8hGW #NIH

High levels of metals in blood and urine are associated with a higher risk of #ALS, according to new @umich research supported by #NIH. This research highlights how exposure to metals can significantly impact health. Read more: bit.ly/4dQAh6i

As we seek to re-envision and enhance the #NIH-supported postdoctoral experience, we are asking for feedback on specific recommendations made by the Advisory Committee to the Director. Responses are due by October 23, 2024. go.nih.gov/amqQ7DD

An #NIH-funded study sheds light on differences in #longCOVID symptoms in youth, finding adolescents most likely to experience low energy and tiredness while younger children were most likely to report headache. go.nih.gov/IS5XL8N

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

The placebo effect is real, but why it occurs has always been a mystery. A team of researchers recently discovered a pain control pathway in the brain in mice that could help us better understand this phenomenon. directorsblog.nih.gov/2024/08/29/stu… #NIH

In an #NIH-funded study, researchers at @NYULangone developed a unique blood platelet scoring system for patients with peripheral artery disease (#PAD). This could lead to more personalized diagnostics and treatment: eurekalert.org/news-releases/… #CardiovascularResearch #CardioTwitter

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…

Pleased to announce the selection of Dr. Geri Donenberg as #NIH Associate Director for AIDS Research & Director of the NIH OAR. She’ll join NIH this October to lead the advancement & coordination of NIH’s HIV/AIDS research. go.nih.gov/AW9WVRy
