After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, forms an abnormal connection with an enzyme called ClpP. This enzyme normally ...

Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have found that a key ...

A new study found that fixing energy balance in the brain reversed symptoms of advanced Alzheimer’s in mice.  Researchers used a drug (P7C3-A20) to ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the cornea—can heal from minor scratches within a single day. The brain is not one ...

Neuroscientists are closing in on a long elusive goal: pinpointing the exact brain cells that make anxiety surge or suddenly recede. In a series of experiments in mice, researchers have identified ...

Scientists have found that adding a missing phospholipid back into the bloodstream might help improve blood flow and reduce ...

A new study from the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute now shows how human stem cell based therapy may help ...

These findings suggest a promising new approach to neurotherapeutics that targets the underlying mechanisms of diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, rather than just managing symptoms. The study ...

New nanomaterial passes the blood-brain barrier to reduce damaging inflammation after the most common form of stroke. When ...

Scientists may have pinpointed a way to reverse Alzheimer’s disease in an animal study. The study, led by University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, found that restoring a central cellular energy ...

For decades, restoring sight after severe eye damage sat firmly in the realm of science fiction. Now a wave of converging advances, from gene editing and stem cells to microchips and laser-based ...
