The mini review brings together emerging evidence showing that glial cells actively influence disease progression and ...

The involvement of glial cells in Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been mostly viewed as a secondary adaptive response to ...

Neurons often get all the credit for running the brain, but the work done by Ben Barres at Stanford University proved that ...

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

A new study reveals that nerve cells receive periodic infusions of mitochondria from neighboring cells — and this may point to a new way of treating nerve pain.

Alzheimer’s may destroy memory by flipping a single molecular switch that tells neurons to prune their own connections. Researchers found that both amyloid beta and inflammation converge on the same ...

Despite new methodologies and flexible regulatory pathways, CNS biopharmaceuticals still face significant safety assessment ...

For a long time, the study of the brain has largely focused on neuronal cells. However, neurons develop and interact closely together in space and time with ...

Early in Alzheimer’s disease, your brain can begin to change long before anyone notices a lost name or missed appointment.

Alzheimer's disease is known for one devastating effect above all others. It steadily destroys brain cells and the connections between them, breaking ...

Research led by the SickKids Research Institute in Toronto and the University of Pennsylvania, has found that immune-related ...
