Tufts Clinical and Translational Science Institute: Translating research into better health

[NIH @NIH]

NIH-funded researchers investigated how a processed diet differing in sugar and fat content affected brain function in both young and older male rats. They found that just three days of a highly processed, fiber-poor diet can impair brain and memory function in older rats.

You've been asking for this one for years. We heard you.
We announced a change in AP style at the @ACESEditors conference today: It's now healthcare, one word, in all uses.
We also changed childcare and daycare, closing them up to one word rather than two.
This guidance is live on AP Stylebook Online now.

Nearly every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a heart attack—one of the leading causes of death for both men and women.

New NIH-funded research examines the role of sensory neurons and immune signals in a preclinical study of heart attacks. Scientists found that the heart and brain communicate through the nervous and immune systems during a heart attack, and this signaling may worsen heart damage.

Findings suggest that disrupting or disabling this crosstalk could help shape future treatments.

New NIH-funded research is taking a closer look at neurogenesis—the process of creating new neurons—in the hippocampus and how it relates to cognitive function. The findings highlight important differences in the brains of adults across a range of ages and levels of cognitive function, offering new insight into how our brains change over time.

Gene therapy was once theoretical.
Today, thanks to the work of NIH-funded vision researchers, it’s restoring functional vision for people with rare inherited retinal diseases.
