Oz: Seeing a New Color, Ultra-Saturated Green, Through Laser Light

Oz: Seeing a New Color, Ultra-Saturated Green, Through Laser Light

UC Berkeley researchers created 'Oz,' a laser system that manipulates photoreceptors to reveal a new, ultra-saturated green color ('olo') and explore human color vision. System allows stimulating S, M, and L cone cells.


Blood Pressure Charts: Visualizations Improve Hypertension Management

Blood Pressure Charts: Visualizations Improve Hypertension Management

New study shows smoothed charts help physicians better manage hypertension by visualizing blood pressure data, reducing over-treatment & improving accuracy compared to raw graphs. Visual tools improve context for health data.


ATP’s Role in Neurodegenerative Diseases: Protein Aggregation & Viscosity

ATP’s Role in Neurodegenerative Diseases: Protein Aggregation & Viscosity

Research shows ATP, the cell's 'fuel', unexpectedly impacts neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's & Parkinson's. ATP controls protein solubility and viscosity, preventing harmful protein aggregation. Increasing ATP may help.


Lyme Disease: Lingering Peptidoglycan & Long-Term Effects

Lyme Disease: Lingering Peptidoglycan & Long-Term Effects

Research suggests Lyme's unique peptidoglycan lingers post-treatment, triggering chronic inflammation and long-term effects. Understanding individual immune responses is crucial for better therapies. Long COVID link explored.


Spastic Paraplegia: Immune System’s Role in Brain Degeneration

Spastic Paraplegia: Immune System’s Role in Brain Degeneration

Research reveals immune system over-activation in spastic paraplegia type 15. Microglia changes and killer T-cells contribute to neuronal damage, suggesting potential immune-based therapies for this neurodegenerative disease.


Cataract Surgery: Vision Loss Fear & Doctor-Patient Trust

Cataract Surgery: Vision Loss Fear & Doctor-Patient Trust

Research shows fear of vision loss can deter patients from cataract surgery, despite it being the only effective treatment. Doctor-patient trust is crucial for medical decisions. Highlights communication importance.


Brain Health: Alcohol, Diet, and Lifestyle Factors

Brain Health: Alcohol, Diet, and Lifestyle Factors

Research shows moderate alcohol, Mediterranean diet, strong purpose, and managing risk factors like blood pressure & stress may benefit brain health and reduce dementia, stroke, and depression risks.


New Metal-Free Approach Fights Antibiotic Resistance & Cancer

New Metal-Free Approach Fights Antibiotic Resistance & Cancer

Researchers developed a metal-free, blue light method using modified carbohydrates (thiosugars) to combat antibiotic-resistant infections, cancer, and gram-negative pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This advance enhances drug delivery and reduces toxicity.


High-Fat, High-Sugar Diet Impacts Memory & Navigation

High-Fat, High-Sugar Diet Impacts Memory & Navigation

Research reveals high-fat, high-sugar diets impair spatial navigation and memory by impacting the hippocampus, linking diet to cognitive decline. Nutritional changes can improve brain health.
