The molecule acrolein has been identified as appearing to play an important role in the development of Parkinson’s disease, researchers at Purdue University report. The new finding could lead to […]
Teneurin, a protein that plays a key role in embryonic development and nervous system wiring in humans appears to have been borrowed from bacteria, scientists from the University of Chicago […]
Fetal human tissue exposed to paracetamol and ibuprofen for a week had reduced numbers of germ cells – the cells that develop into sperm and eggs, new research about the […]
The latest optical neural imaging technology has isolated and recorded the activity of the neurons in the striosome. The findings shed light on the role of striosomal neurons in reinforcement […]
An experimental molecular therapy in has been used in preclinical laboratory tests to effectively treat several types of deadly pediatric brain cancer. The researchers now propose advancing the treatment to […]
Protein clusters thought to be tied to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) may actually protect, rather than harm, neurons. Autopsy studies of ALS patients often reveal the accumulation of large, fibrous […]
People diagnosed with a mild concussion, or mild traumatic brain injury, could have a 56 percent increased risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, according to a new study. Moderate to severe […]
HIV targets and disables a pathway involving a number of biological molecules that are key in blocking viral activity and clearing infection, new research shows. The discovery opens the door […]
