Removing plaque from clogged arteries is a common procedure that can save and improve lives. This treatment approach was recently made even safer and more effective with a new, high-tech catheter that allows cardiologists to see inside the arteries for the first time, cutting out only the diseased tissue. Interventional…

…molecular “glue” that builds the brain connections that keep visual images clear and still, even as objects or your eyes move. Using mouse models, the researchers demonstrate that image stabilization depends upon two proteins, Contactin-4 and amyloid precursor protein, binding during embryonic development.

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world, affecting more than 80 million people. However, because the disease remains largely asymptomatic as it progresses, researchers estimate that more than 50 percent of individuals are unaware that they’re afflicted until it’s too late.
