Impaired Collateral Flow in Pial Arterioles of Aged Subjects During Ischemic Stroke Posted on August 31, 2021 by admin

Abstract:  “Cerebral collateral circulation and age are critical factors in determining outcome from acute ischemic stroke. Aging may lead to rarefaction of cerebral collaterals, and thereby accelerate ischemic injury by reducing penumbral blood flow. Dynamic changes in pial collaterals after … Continue reading →

Pre-activated antiviral innate immunity in the upper airways controls early SARS-CoV-2 infection in children Posted on August 24, 2021 by admin

Abstract:  “Children have reduced severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection rates and a substantially lower risk for developing severe coronavirus disease 2019 compared with adults. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying protection in younger age groups remain unknown. Here … Continue reading →

Evidence and theory for lower rates of depression in larger urban areas Posted on August 2, 2021 by admin

Abstract: “It is commonly assumed that cities are detrimental to mental health. However, the evidence remains inconsistent and at most, makes the case for differences between rural and urban environments as a whole. Here, we propose a model of depression driven … Continue reading →

Environmental Influences on Genetic Contributions to Intelligence and Education Posted on August 1, 2021 by admin

Abstract: Socioeconomic factors have been suggested to influence the effect of education- and intelligence-associated genetic variants. However, results from previous studies on the interaction between socioeconomic status and education or intelligence have been inconsistent. The authors sought to assess these … Continue reading →
