Study shows possibility of using PET imaging to manage chronic liver diseases

While liver biopsies are powerful and reliable, they are also invasive, painful, limited and subject to complications. These effects may soon be a thing of the past for some patients thanks to new research showing PET imaging with the 18F-FAC radiotracer can be used as a non-invasive substitute. The study is featured in the October issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

New project aims to create complete cellular blueprint of zebrafish development

A new imaging project at the Morgridge Institute for Research might be the biology equivalent of a 19th century expressionist painting. Think Van Gogh's "Starry Night," a constellation of tiny lines of color combining into a powerful image.

CBT for insomnia may slow or reverse cortical atrophy in patients with co-morbid fibromyalgia

Preliminary findings from a pilot study suggest that cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia may slow or even reverse the atrophy of cortical gray matter in patients who have co-morbid fibromyalgia.

Neuroscientists use brain lesion network mapping to identify anatomical origins of free will

Long the domain of philosophy and religion, free will has also been defined by scientists as a combination of two cognitive processes - the desire to act (or volition) and the sense of responsibility for our actions (or agency.)

Cancer undercuts ability of normal cells to consume glucose, finds study

Cancer needs energy to drive its out-of-control growth. It gets energy in the form of glucose, in fact consuming so much glucose that one method for imaging cancer simply looks for areas of extreme glucose consumption - where there is consumption, there is cancer.
