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 ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu New mouse data reveal that ageing neurons struggle to clear synaptic proteins, shifting the burden to microglia and exposing a critical vulnerability in brain protein maintenance ...

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

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

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

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells that play a crucial role in various neurophysiological processes. They not only support nervous system structures but also contribute to ...

During brain development, neurons extend long processes called axons. Axons link different areas of the brain and carry ...

The human brain requires constant nourishment to maintain its complex network of billions of neurons, yet certain foods actively work against optimal brain function. While most people focus on foods ...

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