Why does lithium work against bipolar disorder? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In modern times we tend to think of lithium as powering smartphones and cars, yet its historical fame comes from its role as a mood stabilizer. Lithium was first used as a treatment for bipolar disorder in 1949. Yet despite decades of research and drug development, this simple medication remains the gold standard for treating one of the most complex psychiatric conditions. But why? According to Becci Strawbridge, a senior lecturer in psychological medicine at King's College London, lithium's sim
Mini 'arteries-on-a-chip' could help predict a person's risk of stroke (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Researchers have pioneered a way to create miniaturized copies of a person's carotid artery that could help doctors predict and manage the patient's stroke risk, a new study suggests. In the research, published in July in the journal Cell Biomaterials, scientists used these "arteries-on-a-chip" to monitor how real blood flows through a patient's carotid arteries, which carry blood to the brain, face and neck. This could enable doctors to identify not just how and what type of clots form in that
Brains don't always rot: Scientists may finally know how human brains have evaded decay for thousands of years (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The brain preservation paradox — the discovery of well-preserved human brains among otherwise skeletal remains — has puzzled archaeologists and pathologists alike for decades. Now, new research finally provides a scientific explanation for this longstanding mystery. "We found that brain preservation isn't a rare anomaly, it's a novel chemical pathway," first study author Alexandra Seviour, a doctoral researcher of paleobiology at the University of Oxford, told Live Science in an email about the
