Reviewers’ Notes A new editorial paper was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 15, Issue 12, entitled, "Advancing screening for cognitive impairment: the memtrax continuous recognition test." Extensive efforts to find a treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD) span over 40 years, with the often-repeated request for better means to […]

Reviewers’ Notes Today, scientists from the Allen Institute for Neural Dynamics, a division of the Allen Institute, launched the world's first completely open- and crowd-sourced neuroscience experiment-;inviting researchers from around the world to publicly design a shared experiment that will run on the Allen Brain Observatory, as part of the Institute's OpenScope program. Experiments will probe the dynamic functions of […]

Researchers have found a possible explanation as to why higher breast density and older age increases the risk of breast cancer. In an innovative study, researchers at the Turku Bioscience Centre, InFLAMES Flagship of the University of Turku, and Turku University Hospital, Finland, have made an extraordinary discovery that turns conventional wisdom on its head. Their findings reveal that healthy […]

Certain bacteria in the gut, especially some species of strep normally found in the mouth and digestive tract, may affect heart health. In particular, researchers say, gut bacteria may be linked to a build-up of plaque that can lead to clogged arteries.

Research carried out by job website Glassdoor’s economic research team determined which locations are thriving rather than surviving, based on more than 100,000 anonymous employer reviews. It found that Cambridge, […]

Researchers led by Leipzig University have found a application in oncology for the scientific field of Physics of Cancer. This is a milestone for the new research field, proving its clinical relevance for the first time. Based on tissue and cell mechanics and using machine learning, the team developed a marker for cancer cell motility in digital pathology. The marker […]
