Autophagy is the process by which cells remove damaged proteins, recycle worn-out organelles (e.g., mitochondria), clear ...

A cluster of new studies has identified several previously overlooked biological routes through which Alzheimer’s disease ...

A team led by Jason Shepherd at the University of Utah has identified the protein responsible for loading toxic tau into tiny ...

When humans and other animals are in a calm state, they tend to breathe slower, and their heartbeat also slows down. Contrarily, when they are exercising or under psychological stress, both their ...

All cells, whether big or small, short or long, rely on proteins to function properly. In most cells, transporting these proteins is relatively simple. Neurons in the brain, however, face a ...

In a new study published in Science Signaling titled, “Restoration of striatal neuroprotective pathways by kinase inhibitor treatment of Parkinson’s linked-LRRK2 mutant mice,” researchers from ...

For decades, neuroscientists could see the toxic proteins piling up in patients' brains, but they lacked a definitive explanation for the massive, widespread neuron loss that followed. Traditional ...

Tole combines ultrasound and AI to improve motor neuron disease diagnosis, reducing reliance on invasive procedures.

Cell adhesion molecules (CAMS), i.e., laminin-1 or N-cadhedrin Adhesion and attractant Allow cells to grow along the surfaces of other cells (such as using pioneering axons for subsequent axons) ...
