Study: Making an Artificial Heart Fit for a Human 鈥 with Focused Rotary Jet Spinning, Not 3D
University of Pittsburgh

In a new study published in Science, a team of researchers from Harvard, University of Pittsburgh, University of California, Irvine and University of Zurich have come together to utilize a new, more advanced method to fabricate artificial tissues and organs. The researchers proposed the process of focused rotary jet spinning. This team included Qihan Liu, an assistant professor in the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering.

Researchers pulled 700,000 years of glacial history from an Andean lakebed
University of Pittsburgh

Our understanding of the ice-age cycles has been limited by a lack of well-dated tropical records to understand the past of climate change. However, a core of mud from Lake Jun铆n discovered by a team of researchers provides the first continuous and independently dated archive of tropical glaciation that reveals more than 700,000 years of glacial records.

How Not to Use Brain Scans in Neuroscience
University of Pittsburgh

The idea that a lone snapshot of a brain can tell you about an individual鈥檚 personality or mental health has been the basis of decades of neuroscience studies. That approach was punctured by a paper in Nature earlier this year showing that scientists have massively underestimated how large such studies must be to produce reliable findings. At the center of the research is MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) brain scans. Reaching that conclusion required getting a far broader view of the field than was possible until recently. Along with colleagues at a number of institutions as well as his advisor, Pitt Professor of Psychiatry Beatriz Luna, Tervo-Clemmens combined three recent publicly available studies that together included MRI data from around 50,000 participants.

Somatostatin neurons cooperate in the cerebral cortex
University of Pittsburgh

The researchers discovered that in both the auditory cortex and posterior parietal cortex, when somatostatin neurons became active, other nearby somatostatin neurons activated as well. But the distance over which somatostatin neurons shared activity expanded in the posterior parietal cortex.
