Scientists discover brain support cells help glioblastoma grow and identify existing HIV drug that could disrupt this deadly communication.
USC researchers discover people with Down syndrome and Alzheimer's have twice the brain iron levels, triggering damaging cell death.
A molecule called OLE restores microglia's protective function, reducing amyloid plaques and improving memory in animal models.
The SenNet atlas reveals where aging cells accumulate in human tissues, opening new doors for senolytic therapies and healthspan extension.
Researchers turned ordinary brain cells into plaque-clearing machines, reducing Alzheimer's amyloid by half in mice with one treatment.
UC Berkeley researchers discovered brain circuits linking deep sleep to growth hormone release, revealing how sleep builds muscle and burns fat.
Scientists used red blood cells to transport healthy mitochondria into diseased brain cells, showing promise for Parkinson's treatment.
Cambridge researchers found a gene network that shuts off nerve repair — and an existing hormone drug that reactivates it.
Baylor scientists find tubulin redirects rogue brain proteins away from toxic aggregates, pointing to a novel neurodegenerative disease strategy.
Scientists find that TDP43 protein regulates DNA repair systems, linking neurodegeneration to cancer when repair goes wrong.
UC Riverside researchers show amyloid beta may displace tau from neurons, triggering brain cell breakdown before plaques even form.
McGill researchers pinpointed two brain cell types altered in depression, opening doors to targeted biological treatments.
MIT researchers discovered how a schizophrenia gene mutation prevents brain adaptation to new information and found a way to restore normal function.
Researchers captured live footage of protein clumping in Alzheimer's disease and discovered how to potentially reverse the damage.
Scientists discover tanycytes help clear toxic tau from the brain. When damaged, these cells may allow Alzheimer's progression.
New research reveals intelligence comes from how efficiently brain networks communicate together, not from one 'smart' brain area.
UCLA scientists discover why some neurons resist Alzheimer's better than others, revealing a natural protein cleanup system that could lead to new treatments.
Researchers finally discovered lecanemab activates brain immune cells through a specific antibody fragment to clear toxic plaques.
New research reveals depression may stem from cellular energy imbalances, offering hope for earlier diagnosis and targeted treatments.
New research shows autism and ADHD may be two sides of the same biological coin, driven by symptom intensity rather than diagnostic labels.
