Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in Neuroscience and Cancer

During EMT, epithelial cells become motile after undergoing defined molecular changes. This process is reversible. This article provides a comprehensive guide to the tools needed in the study of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in both neuroscience and cancer.

	Brain activity predicts future adolescent mood health An imbalance of functioning in attention-related brain systems may help forecast the course of teen depression, according to a study published in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging, published by Elsevier. Proper coordination of frontoinsular brain networks help us regulate our attention between external goals and self-focused or emotional thinking.

	Simple speech-to-touch sensory substitution device can improve hearing A novel study published in Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience provides the first evidence that a simple and inexpensive non-invasive speech-to-touch sensory substitution device has the potential to improve hearing in hearing-impaired cochlear implant patients, as well as individuals with normal hearing, to better discern speech in various situations like learning a second language or trying to deal with the "cocktail party effect."

	Study discovers origin of neurofibromas that develop throughout the skin of NF1 patients A study published today in PLOS ONE discovered the origin of severely disfiguring masses of cells, called neurofibromas, that gradually develop throughout the skin of patients afflicted with Neurofibromatosis 1.

	People with bipolar disorder more likely to later develop Parkinson's disease People who have bipolar disorder may be more likely to later develop Parkinson's disease than people who do not have bipolar disorder, according at a study published in the May 22, 2019, online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

	Long-term effects of cannabis on the adolescent brain About one in five Canadian adolescents uses cannabis (19% of Canadians aged 15-19), and its recent legalization across the country warrants investigation into the consequence of this use on the developing brain. Adolescence

	Newly discovered mechanism sheds light on how Parkinson’s disease can spread in the brain Tiny channels between nerve cells are involved in a newly discovered mechanism of how Parkinson's disease can spread throughout the brain, according to new research from Linköping University, Sweden.

	Coat of proteins makes viruses more infectious and facilitates plaque formation in Alzheimer's New research from Stockholm University and Karolinska Institutet shows that viruses interact with proteins in the biological fluids of their host which results in a layer of proteins on the viral surface.
