Using an aging clock, researchers from the University of Cologne have used the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to demonstrate that nerve cells age differently. They identified both the causes of ...

I still vividly remember the first time we observed neurons responding not to audible sound, but to concentrated, precisely ...

Key takeawaysTau is the most common protein that aggregates in neurodegeneration diseases. However, researchers had not ...

Findings revealed biological pathways as potential intervention points, and demonstrated in fruit flies potential therapeutic strategies.

Parkinson’s disease has long been defined by the slow, relentless loss of dopamine-producing neurons, with treatments focused ...

Brain tissue analysis shows reactive microglia in Parkinson’s disease overexpress Fc gamma receptors, which may lead to inappropriate elimination of functional dopaminergic neurons. These findings ...

Scientists discovered why some neurons resist tau toxicity, identifying CRL5SOCS4 as a crucial defense and linking ...

Using an aging clock, researchers from the University of Cologne have used the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to demonstrate that nerve cells age differently. They identified both the causes of ...

Researchers found that cutting the vagus nerve in mice reduced dopamine activity and lessened the frequency of reward ...

A straightforward blood test could one day reveal the earliest signs of Parkinson's disease years before more noticeable symptoms appear, according to a new study of DNA repair and cell stress. The ...

If you're trying to increase your potassium intake but can't stand bananas, eat these foods rich in the essential mineral and electrolyte instead.

Amyloids are typically associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Parkinsons. They form tightly packed, highly stable "detrimental" protein fibers that destroy ...
