Symposium to Explore ‘Mesoscale’ Imaging of the Human Brain
Registration is open for “Mesoscale Brain Mapping: Bridging Scales and Modalities in Neuroimaging,” a one-day symposium bringing together researchers using a range of imaging techniques to study brain function at the intersection of the micro- and macro- scales. The in-person event will be he...
The First In Vivo Imaging Agent for Electrical Signaling in the Heart
Reliable and accurate functioning of the heart is vital for health and well-being. According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular disease contributes to one third of all deaths worldwide. Unfortunately, currently used diagnostic methods are insufficient for early detection of the risk...
Moving Beyond Biopsy for Liver Fibrosis
Chronic liver disease is a growing health concern in the U.S. and around the world, with links to alcoholism, diabetes and even obesity. One of the early manifestations of the disease is fibrosis, an excessive buildup of scar tissue that results from repeated injury to the liver. While its effect...
