When performed prior to orthopaedic surgery, an evaluation from a health behavior psychologist can improve patient outcomes, according to a new study from the University of Missouri School of Medicine.

At Texas A&M AgriLife Research, a new branch of brain science is blooming at the molecular scale — with nanoflowers.

A study published in The Journal of Biological Chemistry demonstrated that nanoflowers — a type of metallic flower-shaped nanoparticle — can protect and heal brain cells by promoting the health and turnover of mitochondria, the molecular machines responsible for producing most of our cells’ energy.

These findings suggest a promising new approach to neurotherapeutics that targets the underlying mechanisms of diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, rather than just managing symptoms.
