Scientists have shown that boosting the protein Sox9 in astrocytes can activate a receptor called MEGF10, enabling these brain support cells to engulf and clear existing amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s ...

The central nervous system (CNS) exhibits remarkable plasticity, constantly adapting to internal and external stimuli. Within this dynamic environment, ...

Animals given an experimental drug have shown significant improvement in motor function, with their brain damage reduced ...

Scientists have discovered a way to activate a built-in brain cleanup system that may help counter Alzheimer’s disease. By ...

Scientists have discovered a way to help the brain clean itself of harmful Alzheimer’s plaques by activating its own support cells. By increasing a protein called Sox9, researchers were able to boost ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that leads to progressive memory loss and a decline in mental ...

Every stroke begins with a sudden interruption of blood flow in the brain. But what happens afterward—why neurons continue to ...

Scientists in Shanghai have identified a "brake" gene that could potentially halt the progression of Alzheimer's disease, ...

Neuroplasticity and development have traditionally focused on synaptic mechanisms as the primary substrates of circuit remodeling. However, recent advances ...

Researchers discovered that suppressing BMP signaling in astrocytes reduces seizures and restores brain balance in Fragile X syndrome models.

Beyond its already established respiratory symptoms, COVID-19 is now recognized as a systemic disease with widespread effects, including significant neurological impact. During the acute phase of ...
