When we think of death, we imagine a final, irreversible end. But what if death is not as absolute as it seems? What if some ...

Researchers have revealed for the first time how a key protein linked to Parkinson's mutates, leads to cell death in the ...

Cells don’t just follow a rigid script when responding to stress – they’re far more adaptable than we thought. A new study ...

In an effort to understand how brain cells exchange chemical messages, scientists say they have successfully used a highly ...

Researchers from Northwestern University suggest that enhancing the brain’s immune cells may better equip them to clear out harmful clumps of the toxic protein amyloid beta, a hallmark of ...

the team noticed that the brain’s immune cells (known as microglia) clear plaques, and subsequently get to work restoring a healthy environment in which the brain can heal. A spatial ...

leading to brain cell death, then memory loss. Blocking S-nitrosylation in a specific brain protein partially reverses memory loss in mouse models for Alzheimer’s disease. “We’ve revealed the ...

Scientists at Auburn University have uncovered a fundamental principle of how brain cells stay connected, and their discovery could change how we understand Alzheimer's disease.
