Cells communicate with one another much like humans do. This allows organs to work synchronously, which in turn enables them to perform a remarkable range of tasks. One such means […]
A blood-clotting protein called fibrinogen is responsible for a series of molecular and cellular events that can destroy connections between neurons in the brain and result in cognitive decline, new […]
Women’s brains appear to be about three years younger than men’s of the same chronological age, metabolically speaking, a new study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis […]
Important clues to what goes wrong in the brains of people with autism have been found by A team of UCLA-led scientists. The new insights involve RNA editing — in […]
Sleep deprivation increases levels of the key Alzheimer’s protein tau, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found. The findings indicate that lack of sleep alone […]
A new approach to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) that may eventually make it possible to reverse memory loss has been revealed by a team led by University at Buffalo scientists. They […]
A blood test that reliably detects signs of brain damage in people on the path to developing Alzheimer’s disease — even before they show signs of confusion and memory loss […]
Brain capillary damage forecasts early onset of Alzheimer’s disease, as it signals cognitive impairment before the hallmark toxic proteins amyloid and tau appear, new research from University of Southern California […]
