Scientists discovered why some neurons resist tau toxicity, identifying CRL5SOCS4 as a crucial defense and linking ...

Mount Sinai and BPGbio scientists uncover novel molecular drivers from live brain samples that direct human brain structure ...

For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

Stressed brain cells can survive longer by slowing sugar use, revealing a short-term protective response that later turns ...

Scientists at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, (NUS Medicine), have identified a molecular switch that helps aging brains ...

For some time, we've known that it's rare to see people with both cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Now, scientists believe ...

For decades, scientists have known that a misbehaving protein sits at the heart of Parkinson’s disease, yet the precise chain ...

An investigation by researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in the US has filled in a missing link between the toxic build-up of proteins in the neurodegenerative condition ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

Microglia are the brain's immune cells that clean out debris, such as damaged proteins and old cell parts, to keep the organ ...

Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have identified a mechanism that protects the female ...

New research by UCLA Health and UC San Francisco has uncovered why certain brain cells are more resilient than others to the buildup of a toxic protein that is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease and ...
