Just last October, researchers at Duke University went a step further, discovering a previously unseen mutation on the parkin gene that appears to link it to late-onset forms of the disease as well. "Once we figure out how that gene functions," says neurology professor Ira Shoulson of the University of Rochester Medical Center, "we could...

New 3-D Ultrasound, or Real-Time Volumetric Rendering, developed at Duke Medical Center, displays three-dimensional moving images rather than a mere cross section.
