Could ‘Brain-Computer Interface’ cure chronic pain?

Researchers at the University of East Anglia are launching a new project to see whether virtual reality could help with the treatment of chronic pain. As many as 50 per cent of the UK population are living with chronic pain, and the team will study whether new technology delivered via a VR headset could help […]

Neuroprotection in the early stages of Alzheimer’s

A protein modification of the gene expression regulator MECP2 can convey neuroprotection under inflammation. Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland have found a potential neuroprotective effect of a protein modification that could be a therapeutic target in early Alzheimer’s disease. The new study investigated the role of MECP2, a regulator of gene expression, in […]
