MRI device developer Biophan Technologies said that it has received a $5 million credit line from Biomed Solutions, a company headed by its CEO, Michael Weiner.

The Biomed line will give Biophan access to up to $1.5 million per month on an as-needed basis, according to the West Henrietta, NY-based firm. Biophan said it has not yet been able to utilize a $30 million fixed price financing committed to it by venture capital firm SBI Brightline XI, because those funds cannot be drawn down until its registration statement (currently on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) is declared effective.

MRI reveals effects of risk factors on vulnerable brain regions
By Kate Madden Yee
MRI shows the effects particular risk factors such as diabetes, air pollution, and frequency of alcohol use have on "higher-order" brain regions located in the cerebral cortex, researchers have found.
March 27, 2024
To the left of the figure, the red-yellow color denotes the regions that degenerate earlier than the rest of the brain and are vulnerable to Alzheimer’s disease. These brain areas are higher-order regions that process and combine information coming from our different senses. To the right of the figure, each dot represents the brain data from one UK Biobank participant. The overall curve shows that, in these particularly fragile regions of the brain, there is accelerated degeneration with age. Image courtesy of Gwenaëlle Douaud, PhD, and Jordi Manuello, PhD.

PET/MRI findings ‘encouraging’ for people with late-life depression

PET/MRI scans have revealed positive findings for people with late-life depression – namely that they have preserved “synaptic density,” and thus are likely to respond to treatment, according to a group in Belgium.

PET/MRI images used in the analysis: Axial (left, through the prefrontal volume-of-interest) and coronal (right, through the hippocampal volume-of-interest) overlay of a partial volume corrected carbon-11 UCB-J PET image (right subparts) registered to the anatomical T1-weighted MRI background for delineation.
