Fish-inspired sensor tracks how human heart tissue responds to disease and treatment

Engineers have developed a new way to monitor how tiny lab-grown human heart tissues beat—by effectively "listening" to the ripples they create. The team has created a wireless, noninvasive sensing platform that can biomechanically measure how strongly the miniature heart tissues

Repurposed epilepsy drug could be used to boost vaccine protection among elderly

A drug commonly used to treat epilepsy could be repurposed to significantly boost the response to vaccines in humans, helping protect those for whom the vaccine is less effective, such as older adults or immunocompromised people. A Cambridge-led team showed that the drug more tha

Treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy before symptoms emerge may improve motor function, cl

At Binghamton University, researchers were among the first to find ways to help patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) through the development of an effective drug. Now, they are continuing that work, looking to reduce its effects even earlier.

Treatment for alcohol use disorder can reverse harmful brain effects

When we drink alcohol, our liver breaks it down into acetate, which the body can then burn as fuel. A new Neuropsychopharmacology study has discovered that chronic alcohol use can alter how the brain metabolizes acetate—and that these effects are reversible.
