A spatial proteomics platform profiled 700,000+ brain cells, identifying a microglial subset that clusters around amyloid-β plaques in Alzheimer's disease.
A new deep learning model from UCSF predicts Alzheimer's diagnosis and cognitive trajectories from one MRI scan—no expensive multimodal imaging required.
Behavioral scientist Dr. Nick Epley reveals how everyday social moments with strangers improve mental and physical health.
A Phase 1 trial examines whether Botulinum toxin in the glabella and forehead lifts mood and self-appearance satisfaction in returning Botox patients.
