The first example of a bioelectronic medicine has been developed by researchers. It is an implantable, biodegradable wireless device that speeds nerve regeneration and improves the healing of a damaged […]
Long-term exposure to periodontal disease bacteria causes inflammation and degeneration of neurons in mice that is similar to the effects of Alzheimer’s disease in humans, according to a new study […]
Researchers at UCLA used single cell sequencing to look in real time at how head injury affects thousands of individual cells and genes simultaneously in mice. This approach could lead […]
According to the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime, a total of 246 million people between the ages of 15 and 64 have used an illicit drug. Cannabis is […]
The ways that high levels of a hormone called fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) can reduce brain health have been uncovered by researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina […]
The small SynuClean-D molecule interrupts the formation of the alpha-synuclein amyloid fibres responsible for the onset of Parkinson’s disease, and reverts the neurodegeneration caused by the disease, work led by […]
The protein astrotactin-2 (ASTN2) helps move proteins away from the outer membrane of neurons in a timely fashion, Rockefeller scientist Mary E. Hatten and research associate Hourinaz Behesti show in […]
A feedback loop underlying brain degeneration in Alzheimer’s disease which may explain why so many drug trials have failed has been uncovered by researchers at King’s College London. The study […]
