Concussion Outcome Predicted Using Advanced Imaging
June 9, 2016—(BRONX, NY)—Using an advanced imaging technique, researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Health System were able to predict which patients who’d recently suffered concussions were likely to fully recover. The study also sheds light on the brain’s mechanisms for repairing or compensating for concussion injuries—information that could speed the development of therapies. The study was published online today in the American Journal of Neuroradiology. (Source: Einstein News)

In Scientific First, Researchers Visualize Proteins Being Born
May 5, 2016—(BRONX, NY)—For the first time, scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine have developed a technology allowing them to “see” single molecules of messenger RNA as they are translated into proteins in living mammalian cells. Initial findings using this technology that may shed light on neurological diseases as well as cancer were published online today in Science. (Source: Einstein News)

Albert Einstein College of Medicine Receives $3.6 Million NIH Grant to Investigate Potential Cause of Alzheimer's Disease
April 21, 1016—(BRONX, NY)—Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia in older people. It occurs when amyloid precursor protein (APP) undergoes two sequential enzymatic cleavages, forming smaller clumps called amyloid-beta peptides (ABP) that accumulate between neurons in the brain.
