In May, Biden's son, Beau, died of brain cancer, devastating the vice president and his family.
In the cerebellum, excessive activity of the Shh signaling pathway is associated with the devastating pediatric brain tumor medulloblastoma.
Stroke is devastating, yet given the brain's redundant design, collateral surviving networks and their connections are well-positioned to compensate.
Excessive ingestion of the macronutrient, alcohol, causes devastating complications in the brain leading to atrophy and impaired cognitive function with corresponding increases in morbidity and mortality and, consequently, reduced quality of life measures.
Ischemic stroke, which results from cardiac arrest, cerebral arterial occlusion or severe vasospasm after subarachnoid ischemia, causes devastating damage to the brain and represents a serious global health problem.
It devastated the left side of her brain, wrecking her parietal and temporal lobes and Broca's area — parts of the brain that are involved in the emotions, the senses, memory, and speech.
New research into the genetic underpinnings of Alzheimer's disease offers fresh evidence that the devastating brain disorder may gain a foothold years before dementia sets in, and takes a key step toward earlier detection of the disease.
During her postdoctoral work with Philip Beachy, Dr. Monje focused on the neurodevelopmental origins of a devastating pediatric brain tumor called diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) – the leading cause of cancer death in children.
During her postdoctoral work, Dr. Monje focused on the neurodevelopmental origins of a devastating pediatric brain tumor called diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) - the most fatal cancer in children.
A number of common network motifs are examined and used to build a model of hedgehog regulation of the cell cycle in cerebellar neurons, which is believed to play a key role in the etiology of medulloblastoma, a devastating childhood brain cancer.
