Researchers try new ways of preserving more hearts for transplants

Researchers try new ways of preserving more hearts for transplants

WASHINGTON — Two university hospitals are pioneering new ways to expand lifesaving heart transplants for adults and babies — advances that could help recover would-be heart donations that too often go unused. The new research aims to overcome barriers for using organs from someone who dies when their heart stops. Called DCD, or donation after circulatory death, it involves a …

Adults largely don’t need tetanus, diphtheria vaccine boosters, researchers say

Adults largely don’t need tetanus, diphtheria vaccine boosters, researchers say

With certain exceptions, US adults could safely forego tetanus and diphtheria booster vaccination—if uptake of childhood vaccines stays high, an Oregon Health & Science University–led research team wrote yesterday in Clinical Microbiology Reviews. Discontinuing the 10-year doses could save about $1 billion each year, said the researchers, who compared the impact of the tetanus and diphtheria vaccination programs to that of …

Researchers grow 400+ brain cell types—a leap for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s research

Researchers grow 400+ brain cell types—a leap for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s research

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cell in the human brain according to the latest calculations. These cell types vary in their function, in the number and length of their cellular appendages, and in their interconnections. They emit different neurotransmitters into our …
