Using AI to advance brain therapeutics
Texas A&M UniversityWhat if the body had a shuttle service to deliver medication directly to the brain? One research team believes they might have a way to make it a reality.
Peter Davies, MD, PhD, deputy director at the Texas A&M Health Institute of Biosciences and Technology, and his colleagues have been awarded a Dementia and Alzheimer’s Initiative (DARI) seedling grant from Texas A&M Health for their proposal to deliver medication past the blood-brain barrier, a persistent obstacle in neuroscience.

University of New Mexico Health Sciences CenterCO2 scrubbing microbes discovered in underground laboratory
South Dakota Science and Technology AuthorityMicrobes found deep below the earth at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF), a former gold mine in South Dakota, are being used to engineer enzymes that can pull CO2 gas directly from coal-fired power plant emissions. The patent-pending technology could help reduce the carbon in the atmosphere.
