Apr. 3, 2023 — A lower body temperature is one of the most effective mechanisms to prolong the lifespan of animals. New research has now described precisely how this works. The scientists show that cold can prevent ...
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 ...
Oct. 28, 2022 — A study shows that as patients age, Huntington's disease impairs autophagy, which eliminates waste from cells. This housekeeping is significant in Huntington's because a buildup of waste in a ...
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 ...
