🦠 Welcome to the Pulse, your one stop shop for all things Life Sciences! 🦠
This week we're joined by special guest Roya Crider! Our stories this week include:
🧠 Genes That Power-and Challenge-Our Brains: Researchers have found two genes, exclusive to humans, that play a role in how our brains grow-and how they may link to autism and learning disorders.
💉 A New Contender in Alzheimer’s Fight: Semaglutide, a diabetes drug, has shown surprising promise in Alzheimer’s models, cutting brain plaques and boosting memory-opening up fresh possibilities in brain health!
🤖 Robo-Doc Ready for Duty: Imagine a soft robotic “finger” that can check pulses and find lumps, making exams more comfortable and accessible, especially where doctors are in short supply.
A huge thank you to Roya for jumping in front of the camera this week, and a bigger thank you for providing some of the best bloopers we've captured to date... 👀
