Bacskai, an associate professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School and one of the authors of the study. The researchers used a mouse model for Alzheimer’s disease in the study to develop some of the pathology found in humans, including senile plaques. They selectively labeled astrocytes with a marker that was bright when the cell was active and dimmer when it was inactive, said Kishore V.G.S. Kuchibhotla, a graduate student...
...group of researchers at Harvard and Massachusetts General Hospital have published findings on a new, more accurate method to predict stroke risk through a statistical model that screens for thousands of potentially stroke-causing genes.

The study, released last month, found the formula could predict a person’s risk for the most common stroke in the U.S. with 86 percent accuracy—which...

Normally we can’t get mad at people for getting money, but can this even actually be called a business model? Even Facebook, the grandaddy of all Web 2.0 start-ups that ignored monetization at first, is now having some money problems...
