Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland have found a potential neuroprotective effect of a protein modification that could be a therapeutic target in early Alzheimer s disease. The new study investigated the role of MECP2, a regulator of gene expression, in Alzheimer s disease related processes in brain cells. The study found that phosphorylation of MECP2 protein at a specific amino acid decreases in the brain as Alzheimer s disease is progressing. Abolishing this phosphorylation of MECP2 in cultured mouse neurons upon inflammatory stimulation enhanced their viability and increased the expression of important genes in the maintenance and protection of neurons. The results obtained in the study call attention to modifications of MECP2 as potential targets for developing specific therapies against AD and other neurodegenerative diseases. The study was recently published in the

Scientists’ algorithm will diagnose thyroid tumors faster Researchers from 10 leading centers in Russia, including TSU, have developed a new approach to diagnosing thyroid tumors, based on a blood test. The main diagnostic tools are spectroscopy and machine learning. The role of the TSU scientists was to create methods of analysis using artificial intelligence. The results are presented in the highly ranked journal Biomedical Optics Express (Q1). The methods used today to diagnose thyroid tumors are either complicated or not accurate enough,- explains Yuri Kistenev, head of the TSU Laboratory of Biophotonics and executive director of the TSU Institute of Biomedicine. -Our approach involves the analysis of molecular markers of blood by terahertz spectroscopy and machine learning.
