Jan. 20, 2023 —Neuroscientists find two distinct cell populations in the striatum are affected differently by Huntington's disease. They believe neurodegeneration of one of these populations leads to motor ...
Aug. 30, 2022 —A growing body of research suggests that the disease may also flow from defects in glia, important support cells found in the brain. The new study expands our understanding of the underlying ...
Aug. 17, 2022 —Researchers have developed a new method for studying age-related brain disorders. The researchers have focused on the neurodegenerative disorder ...
Feb. 16, 2022 —Huntington's, Alzheimer's, ALS, and multiple other neurodegenerative diseases share a commonality: they are all characterized by proteins (different ones for each disease) aggregating in neurons ...
Feb. 15, 2022 —Researchers created a comprehensive atlas of the types of cells found in the brain cerebrovasculature, which provides oxygen and nutrients to the brain and helps form the blood-brain barrier. They ...
Oct. 5, 2021 —The findings shed new light on the root causes of this disease, which leads to the degeneration of neurons in ...
Aug. 19, 2021 —Proteins are the 'tools' of our cells – they are essential to all vital tasks. However, they are only able to do their jobs if they fold correctly and adopt their respective, very specific 3D ...
July 7, 2021 —In a new study on mice, researchers report that using MRI scans to measure blood volume in the brain can serve as a noninvasive way to potentially ...
June 29, 2021 —Researchers have identified a new treatment candidate that appears to not only halt neurodegenerative symptoms in mouse models of dementia and ...
Feb. 23, 2021 —A new computational approach for analyzing complex datasets shows that as disease progresses, neurons and astrocytes lose the ability to maintain ...
