The advancement transforms how scientists and clinicians can visualize and analyze complex tissues on a high-resolution map of cellular landscapes across entire tissue sections.

Most people whose brains exhibit Alzheimer's pathology don’t have the disease; they reach the end of their lives never having exhibited cognitive impairment. A new study examines the genetics of this resilience.

He received the award for his pioneering work focusing on leveraging genetic information to enhance health care outcomes.

Akil is an internationally known neuroscientist at the University of Michigan and Michigan Neuroscience Institute whose research has helped reveal the fundamental nature of anxiety, depression, pain and addiction.

Hirschsprung disease is a congenital disorder that occurs in approximately 1 in 5,000 babies. Caused by a lack of ENS neurons in the muscles of the colon, Hirschsprung disease disrupts gut motility, resulting in bowel obstruction.

The video is produced by the research team to explain the results of the study. Findings from the largest genetic analysis of stuttering are published in Nature Genetics; they point to 48 genes associated with stuttering and highlight neurological pathways of risk.

The research characterizes the molecular “cargo” of circulating extracellular vesicles in obesity and links the findings to human genetic approaches to identify potential therapeutic targets for metabolic disease.
