- A nanoparticle-based wireless deep brain stimulation system that reverses Parkinson’s disease ()
Deep brain stimulation technology enables the neural modulation with precise spatial control but requires permanent implantation of conduits. Here, we describe a photothermal wireless deep brain stimulation nanosystem capable of eliminating α-synuclein aggregates and restoring degenerated dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra to treat Parkinson’s disease. This nanosystem (ATB NPs) consists of gold nanoshell, an […]
- Rett syndrome discovery could lead to better treatments ()
“We learn with rare/unique diseases…” –Jonathan Després Researchers have identified early molecular changes in Rett syndrome that could lead to improved treatments for the condition. Scientists investigating the severe developmental disorder known as Rett syndrome have discovered a series of crucial molecular changes that occur long before any symptoms appear. This breakthrough could lead to […]
