Join the Quantum Dots—for Brighter, Longer, and Multiplex Cell Images
Scientists keen on monitoring cellular events in real time can now add another imaging technique to their repertoire—the use of quantum dots...
Neurons See the Light—and Move toward It
We all know that plants grow toward a light source—but would you believe the same of neurons? Neuronal "phototropism" is exquisitely demonstrated by a report published online in last week's PNAS...
No Junk After All: Dinucleotide Repeats Change eNOS Splicing; What about AD?
Dinucleotide repeats are scattered throughout the human genome, but do they actually do anything? A report in yesterday's Nature Structural Biology reveals that in some cases at least...

New Parkinson’s Gene: DJ Mutations Make Neurons Change Their Tune
In today's SciencExpress, researchers from Italy, France, and The Netherlands report that mutations in DJ-1, a protein of unknown function, can lead to Parkinson's disease...
Orlando: Medium-Throughput Target Discovery Using Brain Slices
Researchers led by Don Lo of Duke University Medical Center and Cogent Neuroscience, Inc., in Durham, North Carolina, have developed a novel brain-slice platform for identifying therapeutic targets for neurodegenerative diseases...
Age Factors into Survival after AD Diagnosis
People diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease at age 65 will likely live more than twice as long as those diagnosed at age 90, according to a study in the current issue of the Archives of Neurology...
MRI Keeps an Eye on Those Transplanted Stem Cells In Vivo
Embryonic stem (ES) cells have the inherent potential to replace or repair almost every tissue in the body. One key to this prowess is the ability to migrate...
Orlando: Early Results Hint That Insulin-Sensitizing Drug Improves Cognition
Insulin resistance is emerging as a possible risk factor for Alzheimer’s, and data from a pilot trial presented at the 2002 Neuroscience meeting indicate that an insulin-sensitizing drug may represent a novel treatment approach...
Spinal Taps for Tau Tests
Assays of Aβ or tau protein in cerebrospinal fluid can identify Alzheimer's disease in patients with mild cognitive impairment, say the authors of a study in today’s Archives of Neurology...
Can Travel, Will Deposit: Aβ via the Perforant Pathway?
Two studies indicate that the amyloid deposits found in the hippocampus may come not so much from local cells but arrive via the axons of distant neurons projecting there...
