Observing anything and everything within the human brain, no matter how large or small while it is fully intact, has been an out-of-reach dream of neuroscience for decades, but in a new study in Science, an MIT-based team describes a technology pipeline that enabled them to finely process, richly label and sharply image full hemispheres of the brains of two donors—one with Alzheimer's and one without—at high resolution and speed.

Pairing breast cancer screening with lung cancer screening could boost screening uptake for the latter, according to research published June 10 in the Journal of Surgical Research. A team led by Tiffany Yue from Stanford University found that, despite limited prescreening knowledge among women about lung cancer screening eligibility and cost, most women in the study expressed support for dual screening.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most commonly injured areas in the body. An estimated 200,000 ruptures occur each year, namely among professional athletes. Yet this condition can also affect amateur athletes and weekend warriors. Early signs like decreased range of motion may be dismissed as arthritis. For diagnostic purposes, your doctor may recommend undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
