Chet Mortiz, a C.J. and Elizabeth Hwang Endowed Professor in UW ECE, with joint appointments in rehabilitation medicine, physiology, and biophysics, is the lead author of a new study on non-invasive spinal cord electrical stimulation, which he is using in the Amplifying Movement & Performance (AMP) Lab to help restore hand and arm function for paralyzed individuals. The pictured study participant, Jon Schlueter, suffered a spinal cord injury in 2005 that severely limited the use of his arms and hands. By taking part in the study, Schlueter has been able to play guitar again. This groundbreaking work shows that 72% of study participants, like Schlueter, improved their hand strength and function. This research gives paralyzed individuals new hope for substantial functional improvements, and advances the fields of neurotechnology and rehabilitation.

Did you know? A first-of-its-kind study led by UC Irvine, has revealed a new culprit in the formation of brain hemorrhages that does not involve injury to the blood vessels, as previously believed! Researchers discovered that interactions between aged red blood cells and brain capillaries can lead to cerebral microbleeds, offering more profound insights into how they occur and identifying potential new therapeutic targets for treatment and prevention. Co-corresponding author Dr. Mark Fisher, professor of neurology at UCI School of Medicine, states, “our findings may have profound clinical implications, as we identified a link between red blood cell damage and cerebral hemorrhages that occurs at the capillary level.” Want to learn more?

The Research Doesn't Lie 🧊🔬 Dr. Susanna Søberg's groundbreaking research on deliberate cold exposure has unveiled a wealth of insights into its physiological and psychological impacts. Her work explores the intricacies of how exposing the body to cold temperatures can trigger various adaptive responses. Dr. Søberg's studies highlight improvements in metabolic rate, the activation of brown adipose tissue, and the release of beneficial hormones. Additionally, her research underscores the potential for deliberate cold exposure to enhance cardiovascular health and boost immune function. As we await further developments, Dr. Søberg's work is undeniably contributing to a deeper understanding of the transformative effects of intentional cold exposure on human physiology.

Please join us in welcoming Ashutosh Kumar, PhD, Instructor in Medicine, WashU Dept of Medicine Cardiovascular Division. Dr. Kumar’s PhD research work was focused on the characterization of TRPV4 (non-selective cationic ion channel) where he has explored the cross-talk between mitochondria and TRPV4 which alters mitochondrial dynamics, energetics, and morphology. Dr. Kumar has also characterized the molecular evolution of mechanosensitive TRPV4 ion channel in order to understand the striking parallelism with the cholesterol bio-synthesis pathways at the genetic, molecular, and metabolic levels.

Climate Change is about fear mongering and removing people from the earth. https://lnkd.in/gEPTJWgn Podcast with Tom Nelson who has 15,000 followers for the college textbook we published for environmental science. Make 2024 the year for planting native trees and shrubs. 25 ppm of fraud in the NOAA carbon dioxide rise. More than 50 PhD’s at NOAA have been fired. https://lnkd.in/e3rUzNw8 The extremists prosecuting this law have quite clearly not understood that their climate change narrative is all about fear-Mongering and removing people from the earth. Every year they recycle the ad below, which of course never comes to pass and never will. Nonetheless, it has a powerful impact on the willfully uninformed. As you may know, the key figures perpetuating these lies are all the familiar suspects. Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, George Soros, and now Jane Goodall, are advocating for a drastic reduction in the world's population by 2030. I know that sounds extreme, but please watch this video before it’s taken down. https://lnkd.in/e22xeDKZ or https://lnkd.in/eV3w5GxJ _remove_people.mp4 Climate: The Movie (The Cold Truth) https://lnkd.in/euj-t9SB

A groundbreaking study has illuminated a pivotal communication pathway in mice that links the brain and the body's fat tissue, forming a feedback loop crucial for energy production throughout the body. The gradual deterioration of this feedback loop might be a contributing factor to the myriad health issues associated with natural aging https://bit.ly/49Hteeb #longevity #biology #brain

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) may begin when brain no longer creates mature brain cells - QUT Health study finds. QUT School of Biomedical Sciences Researchers Dr Rachel Okolicsanyi and AsProf. Larisa M Haupt Haupt and PhD candidate Martina Gyimesi have called for a rethink about the possible early cause of AD in their recently published article in Open Biology; Beyond amyloid and tau: rethinking Alzheimer’s disease through less explored avenues. The study challenges the accepted view of a build-up of amyloid proteins in the brain as the cause of the brain deterioration seen in patients with AD, and instead offers a broader, alternative view that centres on impaired adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) as a potential early causal factor.
