A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can ...

Age-related changes in protein tagging and degradation may help explain how the brain declines over time and why diet can ...

Scientists at Keck Medicine of USC are testing an experimental stem cell therapy that aims to restore the brain’s ability to ...

In Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, a protein called tau can pile up inside brain cells and form toxic clumps. Those clumps help drive memory loss and other symptoms.

It takes two to tango, and two to trigger Parkinson’s. New research identifies the "partners in crime" genes that work together to overwhelm the brain’s waste-management system.

Obstructive sleep apnea disrupts brain function in several ways, including low oxygen levels, interrupted sleep, and vascular risk. Several regions throughout the brain may shrink, and the ...

A new study has identified specific cellular machinery that helps brain cells dispose of toxic proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease. By screening thousands of genes in lab-grown human neurons, ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a natural mechanism that clears existing amyloid plaques in the brains of mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease and preserves cognitive function ...

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells that play a crucial role in various neurophysiological processes. They not only support nervous system structures but also contribute to ...

New studies add to the scientific understanding of how aerobic and resistance exercise benefit the brain and improve brain ...
