The Frontiers of Medical Research supplement, published in November 2021, includes 17 concise survey articles prepared by teams of researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai on the most important and promising breakthroughs and directions for medical research.
The articles summarize what’s new and what’s next across many fields of specialization, including artificial intelligence, cancer, cardiovascular medicine, genomics, immunology, and neuroscience. Among the new developments that were explored is a look at how individual brain cells interact within circuits, and how these circuits generate specific behaviors—essential steps toward gaining the capability to treat brain disorders effectively.
