Scientists build a better brain map
October 17, 2019 -- Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory published a new study in Cell, on October 17, that introduces barcoded anatomy resolved by sequencing (BARseq), the next generation of MAPseq. Discuss

Study shows that Huntington's disease can be slowed by modifying brain cells
October 16, 2019 -- A new study led by researchers at UCLA published in Science Translational Medicine on October 16 found that Huntington's disease (HD) damages astrocytes at the early stages of the disease, contributing to neuropsychiatric symptoms. Discuss

Software improves the speed of identifying potential new antibiotics
October 16, 2019 -- Computational biologists at Carnegie Mellon University and seven other institutions developed a software tool that can play a high-speed "Match Game" to identify bioactive molecules and microbial genes that produce them so they can be evaluated as new antibiotics and other therapeutic agents. This work was published in Cell Systems on October 16. Discuss

Scientists elucidate the genetic impact of host immune system on the microbiome
October 15, 2019 -- Researchers at the University of Chicago conducted research that suggests that the genetic differences in the immune system contribute to bacterial colonization of gut. The findings, published in Cell Reports on October 15, uses a new approach to determine the genetic influence of the immune system on the microbiome of mice. Discuss

Dementia-associated atrophy predicted by brain networks
October 14, 2019 -- A new study uses brain maps to predict how brain atrophy spreads in patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The experiment, conducted by UC San Francisco scientists, adds to a growing body of data suggesting that brain cell loss associated with dementia spreads via synaptic connections between established brain networks. Discuss

New bio-imaging techniques help scientists understand the early stages of Parkinson's disease
October 11, 2019 -- Scientists observed, for the first time ever, how variants of Parkinson's disease-associated protein alpha-synuclein change over time and identify the initial stages of protein aggregates. A new study published in Nature Communications on October 10 helps to clarify the why treatment challenges associated with Parkinson's disease (PD), when does it begin. Discuss
