When the brain is injured, the microbiota in the gut feels the pinch. Researchers show that certain gut bacteria may be used to track the impact of concussions and timeline to recovery.

Importance of the coronary artery calcium (CAC) Score in risk assessment and prevention of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease

Houston Methodist cardiologists Khurram Nasir and Miguel Cainzos-Achirica provide insights on the coronary artery calcium (CAC) score – an important decision aid in risk management for preventing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Researchers identify a novel immunotherapy target to combat glioblastomas

Houston Methodist researchers have used advanced microfluidic technology to fingerprint different types of cells in glioblastoma. Their analysis has revealed a protein that could serve as a potential immunotherapy target for one of the deadliest cancers.

Rapidly scalable, all-inducible neural organoids could facilitate drug screening for neurological diseases

State-of-the-art neural organoids designed by Houston Methodist researchers are scalable, reproducible and allow manipulation of neuron and astrocyte activity. This all-inducible “mini brain” in vitro system could help researchers study human neuron-glial interactions better and could serve as an improved testing platform for drug discovery.
