American neuro-scientists recently demonstrated getting a small step closer to creating a better understanding of so-called mini-strokes, which are related to cognitive decline and dementia, using high-speed optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy.
A new review by Lennox et al discuss recent advances in our understanding of post-transcriptional regulation during embryonic cerebral cortex development.
This month’s top Advanced Healthcare Materials papers.
It is important to understand when and how the hindbrain segmentation program evolved. Recent studies have shed some light.
Malignant brain tumors are heterogeneous and invasive, with high morbidity and mortality rates. The main challenge associated in treating such tumors is the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which actively filters out molecules entering from the blood stream.

Taking the headache out of brain surgery: these gold nanoparticles cross the blood–brain barrier and report when they hit tumour tissue.
Matrix-metalloprotease (MMP)-sensitive hydrogel particles intend to utilize the unique properties of tumor cells, such as high concentration of MMP enzymes, along with the synergistic activities of an apoptosis-inducing protein (TRAIL) and the TRAIL sensitizer drug Quinacrine.
Advanced natural multi-functional biomaterials may one day help heal brain injury.
Treatment options for Alzheimer’s disease are revealed in a bio-mimetic lab-on-a-chip system, modelling intracellular kinesin-microtubule transport.
Drug carriers capable of easily crossing the BBB are being explored by a team working across locations in South Korea and the USA.
