The lab of Jason Stein, PhD, associate professor of genetics and member of the UNC Neuroscience Center, has created a controlled model system that could help researchers know more about the genetic variants that increase one鈥檚 risk for developing a psychiatric disorder.
At 7-years-old, Amelia and Makenzie Kahn were diagnosed with juvenile Batten disease, an extremely rare and progressively fatal genetic disorder. Instead of giving in to the disease, the Kahn family searched for a treatment.
With data from extensive genomic surveys of the syphilis bacterium 鈥� correlated with clinical information from patients 鈥� an international team of researchers and doctors are on the hunt for proteins on the surface of the microbe that don鈥檛 vary and could be good targets for a much-needed vaccine
The National Institutes of Mental Health awarded a $2.5-million grant to UNC School of Medicine researchers to study the alarming rise of suicidal behavior in young girls.
UNC School of Medicine researchers are the first to show that an microRNA molecule called miR-29 is instrumental in driving the natural aging process.
For the first time, UNC School of Medicine scientists created and successfully tested a closed-loop system to measure an individual鈥檚 alpha frequencies and stimulate the brain with a low-level alternating electrical current to bring balance to alpha oscillations and alleviate depression symptoms.
Through an analysis of 500+ FDA-authorized AI medical devices, researchers at the UNC School of Medicine have discovered a lack of published clinical validation data for many authorized devices. They also established a standard for medical AI validation.
Jose Rodriguez-Romaguera, PhD, assistant professor at the UNC Neuroscience Center, co-authored a perspective piece in Neuron about the critical role of mentor-mentee relationships, especially for those who come from racially underrepresented groups like himself.
Taghreed Mohammed Al-Turki, PhD, a postdoctoral researcher in the UNC Lineberger lab of Jack Griffith, PhD, describes her long, difficult, and rewarding journey of becoming a telomere scientist as a first-time mother at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine.
A study led by Jeffrey S. A. Stringer, MD, FACOG, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the UNC School of Medicine, has shown that an AI-enabled, low-cost handheld ultrasound device can estimate gestational age as accurately as expert sonographers, potentially revolutionizing pregnancy care in low-resource settings where healthcare personnel have little ultrasound training.
A new review article written by researchers at the UNC School of Medicine and the Karolinska Institutet, outline the genetic, neurobiological, and environmental foundations that contribute to the development of schizophrenia.
Third-year UNC School of Medicine student Joshua Hale led a study on how medical educators use generative AI. The goal of the study is to better understand how educators can most effectively implement AI tools in curriculum.
Researchers at seven academic medical institutions around the United States held a multicenter clinical trial, finding that bilateral focused ultrasound treatment is safe for patients who had previously undergone treatment for essential tremor. Clinical data from the trial was used for the approval of bilateral focused ultrasound thalamotomy by the US Food and Drug Administration.
A research team led by Priya Palta, PhD, MHS, an associate professor of neurology at the UNC School of Medicine, has found that certain Alzheimer鈥檚 disease and neurodegenerative blood biomarkers in midlife and late life had strong associations with late-life dementia.
A new study in the Journal of the American Heart Association, led by Lindsay Rosman, PhD, at the UNC School of Medicine, is the first to show that wearable devices, such as smart watches, can significantly amplify anxiety and increase healthcare use in patients with Afib.
Publishing in Nature, University of North Carolina School of Medicine researchers and colleagues discovered a pain control pathway that links the cingulate cortex in the front of the brain, through the pons region of the brainstem, to cerebellum in the back of the brain.
A new study led by researchers at the UNC School of Medicine suggests that e-cigarette and cigarette use can change the microbiome in the nose and make users more susceptible to respiratory diseases and infections.
Researchers at the UNC School of Medicine have connected the dots between a small protein, the brain鈥檚 lymphatic system, and migraine pain.
Researchers at the UNC School of Medicine have identified a small molecule that could lead to a safe and effective treatment for the neurodevelopmental condition known as Angelman syndrome.
This year鈥檚 match results show that only 91.8% of pediatric residency slots were successfully filled by programs compared to a higher percentage in years past. This ongoing outcome has many physicians in the field worried about the declining interest in pediatric subspecialties.
