RadNet Revenues and Amyloid PET Growth

RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT), a leading provider of outpatient diagnostic imaging services, has seen robust growth in its PET/CT segment, with amyloid PET scans (for Alzheimer's disease detection) emerging as a key driver.

Look at that 6x gain in share price, and notice where the change in trend toward explosive growth began in late 2021 and 2022.

Not a placebo controlled trial ... but an investment thesis.

Glia derives from the greek word for glue, but they are so much than that.

In this video by our #ElectronMicroscopy team, shows a pyramidal neuron (PyC) surrounded by 8 glia brain cells – 5 microglia (MG) and 3 oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPC).

I’m excited to share that I've been awarded an @alzassociation grant for my ongoing research into Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-related sleep disturbance. With this funding, I aim to profile astrocytic network for alleviating sleep disorders associated with AD pathologensis. #ENDALZ

I had so much fun organizing these professional development events for @InterSciFellows alongside a fantastic committee of fellow postdocs, and I learned a ton! #postdocs, volunteer to help out, you won’t regret it!

[IntersectionsScienceFellows @InterSciFellows]

Congrats to all the scholars for their contributions to science and a more inclusive & equitable academia! Kudos in particular to #ISFS alumni @MarmolJosefina @DJuanFarmer1 @trevor_sorrells and our 1st keynote speaker @KizzyPhD 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[IntersectionsScienceFellows @InterSciFellows]

We also thank @gamzeandgursoy, @kelliejurado, @LizWaynePhD, @priyanka13verma, @xinjin, @BrielleRyan and @JuanAlvarezDom for their #ISFS2021 professional development contributions! 🤗

[Piere Rodriguez-Aliaga @PiereBiophysics]

Being a fellow of the @InterSciFellows Program was an amazing experience. Great science, cool mentors, and many opportunities to expand your network.

I highly recommend applying to this program. Most of the fellows are now Faculty members with bright futures. Congratulations!

Female scientists at NYU feel utterly betrayed today, myself included. Where does Title IX start and end?

If you’re willing to support the women at NYU, we would appreciate if this were spread far and wide.
