A recent study found that people with type 2 diabetes have changes in brain structure and function, as seen on MRI scans. These changes were more pronounced in people with longer duration of diabetes and diabetes complications. The study findings suggest that diabetes may have a negative impact on brain health, and early detection and treatment of diabetes may help to protect the brain.

What is the potential therapeutic target for glioblastoma identified in the new study?
Scientists have created a new platform using zebrafish “avatars” to screen for novel treatments for glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumor. This platform could also be used to predict whether a particular patient will respond to a therapy. The researchers injected glioblastoma stem cells from seven patients into zebrafish embryos, creating xenograft models for each patient. […]
