Amyloid proteins are typically considered bad guys, but researchers been investigating whether a version may be key to ...

Microglia are the brain's immune cells that clean out debris, such as damaged proteins and old cell parts, to keep the organ healthy. But the very properties that make these cells so useful might also ...

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can restore the ability of neural stem cells to regenerate, even when age-related ...

The research found that mice with Alzheimer's disease symptoms improved when a certain brain protein was suppressed.

Scientists at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, (NUS Medicine), have identified a molecular switch that helps aging brains ...

Researchers found a powerful protein that helps strengthen the messaging system of the brain. The discovery could lead to new ways of treating diseases that interfere with the way brain cells talk to ...

The RPI-led research team found that in order for Reelin to function properly in the brain, it must interact with a special ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have identified a hazardous waste collector in the brain that disposes of the toxic clumps of tau protein that can lead to dementia. Neurons with more of this garbage ...

Reduced levels of a critical protein are linked to devastating brain diseases like Alzheimer's, frontotemporal dementia, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Surprisingly, the protein shortage ...
