First map of “Commander complex” could help fight diseases, dementia

Posted on May 12, 2023 by Michael Franco

Multi-colored spirals on a black background

Using AI, researchers have created the first map of a group of proteins known as the Commander complex, which function as the body’s “postal workers.” The new understanding opens the door to new drugs and modalities for fighting everything from Alzheimer’s to infectious diseases to cancer.

Modified MRI spies the early signs of Parkinson’s disease

Posted on July 21, 2022 by Nick Lavars

A modified MRI technique has shown promise in detecting the early signs of Parkinson's disease

It is thought that Parkinson’s disease takes hold in the brain long before obvious motor symptoms appear, and a big focus for researchers is the development of diagnostic tools that can detect it early on. Scientists in Israel have demonstrated a promising new technology in this space, using a variation of MRI to spot tiny, telltale structures forming deep in the brain as the disease progresses.
