First tests in humans could be as little as year away, researchers claim
Carbon-13 could act as an MRI probe that could reveal new insight into gene regulation in the brain. The technique has so far been demonstrated only in pig brains, but the researchers hope that it could soon be tested in living humans, where it could help understand brain development and function, and conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease.
