Identifying Pathways In The Brain To Understand The Underlying Molecular Mechanism Of Huntington's Disease
Florida Atlantic University researcher Dr. Jianning Wei, assistant professor of biomedical sciences in the Charles E. Schmidt College of Biomedical Science at FAU, has received a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to further her research into the molecular mechanisms of Huntington"s disease (HD). Named after American physician George Huntington, HD is a highly complex genetic, neurological disorder that causes certain nerve cells in the brain to waste away. The disease, characterized by a selective loss of neurons in the brain, affects the basal ganglia, which controls motor control, cognition, learning and emotions. It also affects the outer surface of the brain, or the cortex which controls thought, perception, and memory. Wei and her colleagues are working to identify the pathways in the brain that are altered in response to mutant proteins, as well as to understand the cellular processes impacted by the disease in order to facilitate the development of effective pharmacological interventions.

Tension In Axons Is Essential For Synaptic Signaling, Researchers Report
Every time a neuron sends a signal - to move a muscle or form a memory, for example - tiny membrane-bound compartments, called vesicles, dump neurotransmitters into the synapse between the cells. Researchers report that this process, which is fundamental to the workings of the nervous system, relies on a simple mechanical reality: Tension in the axon of the presynaptic neuron is required.

EU Midwifery Regulators Agree To New Network

Midwifery Regulators from eighteen European countries have met in London to discuss ways in which they can collaborate to enhance the safety of women and babies across the EU. Hosted by the NMC on Friday 22 May, the event was the first of its kind to bring together regulators of midwives from across the continent. Focused on the challenges posed by EU legislation on the freedom of movement of professionals across Europe, the summit was open and interactive, and saw a high level of participation by attendees. Issues discussed included the diversity in midwife training and scope of practice across Europe as well as the importance of sharing fitness to practise information on midwives crossing borders. Those present at the event welcomed an initiative, put forward by the French Order of Midwives and the NMC, to develop an informal network of European midwifery regulators. The aim of such a network will be to improve the exchange of best practice between regulators and to co-ordinate joint communications with EU decision makers on issues of mutual concern, especially in regard to EU legislation. Regulators from Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain were represented at the event, alongside the NMC. Tony Hazell, NMC Chair and chair of the summit, said: "I am delighted that so many countries were represented at this event and at the level of consensus we were able to reach. I believe that ever increasing mobility of health professionals within the EU compels us as regulators to work together to ensure the safety of service users comes first." Christina McKenzie, Head of Midwifery at the NMC, said: "This event has demonstrated that European midwifery regulators face similar challenges in terms of ensuring only those midwives who are fit to practise are able to join our registers and move between countries. I am heartened by how eager colleagues across Europe are to increase collaboration, and look forward to working more closely with my EU counterparts over coming months and years."
