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 Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...

Navigating the world is no mean feat, especially when the world pushes back. For instance, airflow hitting a fly on its right ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu New mouse data reveal that ageing neurons struggle to clear synaptic proteins, shifting the burden 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 ...

Explore the connection between neurodegeneration and cellular senescence in understanding brain structure and ageing.

Researchers identified DMTF1 as a key transcription factor driving neural stem cell regeneration during aging. The study ...

Every year, millions of lives are suddenly, swiftly transformed by a stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel travelling towards the brain becomes obstructed, causing neurons to die off. Strokes are ...

A hidden communication network between brain cells and glioblastoma tumors may be key to slowing this aggressive cancer.

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...
