Abstract Tools for noninvasively modulating neural signaling in peripheral organs will advance the study of nerves and their effect on homeostasis disease. Herein, we demonstrate a noninvasive method to modulate specific pathways within using ultrasound (U/S).

Abstract Background Measures of neocortical amyloid burden (NAB) identify individuals who are at substantially greater risk developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). Blood‐based biomarkers predicting NAB would have great utility for the enrichment AD clinical trials, including large‐scale prevention trials.

Increasingly, clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease (AD) are being conducted earlier in the phase and with biomarker confirmation using vivo amyloid PET imaging or CSF tau Aβ measures to quantify pathology. However, making such a pre-clinical AD diagnosis is relatively costly screening failure rate likely be high. Having blood-based marker that would reduce costs accelerate through identifying potential participants substantial advance. In order seek candidate biomarker, discovery...

Abstract Background: Identification of the consensus molecular subtypes (CMS) opened significant potential for understanding tumor biology and intertumoral heterogeneity colorectal cancer (CRC). Molecular subtyping in CRC traditionally relies on bulk transcriptomics. However, single-cell transcriptomics studies have shown that tumors may be composed cells displaying different CMS traits, suggesting additional intratumoral heterogeneity. Methods: To investigate at protein level, we...

Interfaces between the nervous and immune systems have been shown essential for coordination regulation of responses. Non-invasive ultrasound stimulation targeted to spleen has recently capable activating one such interface, splenic cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAP). Over past decade, CAP other neuroimmune pathways activated using implanted nerve stimulators tested prevent cytokine release inflammation. However, studies typically performed in models severe, systemic (e.g.,...
