Science Translational Medicine is the leading weekly online journal publishing translational research at the intersection of science, engineering and medicine.
Auditory stimuli delivered in phase with peaks of #EEG slow waves in the brain increased cerebrospinal fluid (#CSF) flow in healthy adults napping inside an MRI machine, offering insight to treating dysfunctional CSF flow. @MIT_IMES@BostonU_BMEscim.ag/4r1JFfe
The standard immunosuppressant mycophenolic acid has unknowingly been driving the emergence of resistance mutations in the high-priority fungal pathogen #Pjirovecii for almost 2 decades across outbreaks worldwide, shows a new study. @NIHscim.ag/4xpdQ1y
A “lab-on-a-contact lens” measures concentrations of #serotonin in tear fluid in animals and in humans in a pilot trial—offering a flexible and noninvasive tool to quantify a key marker of stress responses and behaviors. @yangzhi_zhu @TerasakiInstz scim.ag/4yFJYz7

A CRISPR-based, nanodroplet test can distinguish 15 species of nontuberculous #mycobacteria in clinical samples in just 3.5 hours, avoiding the need for long culture times that have long limited assays for mycobacteria. @Tony_Y_Hu@Qingyun_Liu@Tongji_Uniscim.ag/4AdBbWL

A "lab-on-a-contact lens" can measure the hormone serotonin in tears to gauge stress levels, researchers trace how an immune-suppressing drug has unexpectedly driven resistance in a fungal pathogen, and more this week in #ScienceTranslationalMedicine. scim.ag/4gS1NF8
Advanced imaging and genetics identify features of the spleen associated with #coronary artery disease (#CAD) risk, as well as genetic variants associated with these splenic CAD features. @MassGenBrigham@pnatarajanmdscim.ag/4yuQYP6
A new study shows that intravenous delivery of AAV gene therapy successfully extended survival and reduced symptoms in a feline model of #Sandhoff disease. #TaySachs@auburnvetmedscim.ag/4r7u0Lt
PET and MRI imaging found elevated levels of TSPO protein in skull bone marrow of people with chronic back pain and knee #osteoarthritis compared with healthy individuals, suggesting a potential new target in treating #ChronicPain@MassGenBrighamscim.ag/4iaHJ1O

An unanticipated connect between the risk of heart disease (assessed by genomics) and features of the spleen (assessed by AI); a new heart-spleen axis uncovered @ScienceTM@pnatarajanmdscience.org/doi/10.1126/scit…
New work in @ScienceTM by Meghana Kamineni and a great team led by @ZhiYu_ACGT and @pnatarajanmd! We used deep learning-extracted features from imaging and genomics to understand the role of spleen in coronary artery disease.
The new issue of #ScienceTranslationalMedicine has arrived!
A recombinant nanobody cocktail protects mice against cobra venom, short bursts of pink noise can boost cerebrospinal fluid flow in sleeping adults, and more. scim.ag/4yvrXUe
