Gender differences define how the human brain ages, and telltale biomarkers in the blood may be strongly suggestive of cognitive impairment and dementia, according to a comprehensive new study involving more than 500 people.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disorder associated with a progressive decline in memory and mental abilities, which can significantly hinder people's ability to complete daily tasks. Past studies ...
Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer's & Neurodegenerative Diseases at UT Health San Antonio, Boston University School of Medicine and the Framingham Heart Study have found that higher scores on the Dietary Inflammatory Index ...
Astrocytes are star-shaped glial cells in the central nervous system that support neuronal function, maintain the blood-brain barrier, and contribute to brain repair and homeostasis. The evolution of these cells throughout ...
Johns Hopkins University-led researchers, working with the Biomarkers for Older Controls at Risk for Dementia (BIOCARD) cohort, have found that certain factors are linked to faster brain shrinkage and quicker progression ...
A multi-institutional study made up of 26 researchers led by the University of Melbourne has discovered that iron-reducing deferiprone accelerates cognitive decline in patients with early Alzheimer's disease. This unexpected ...
Within Tibetan medicine, the medicinal herb Terminalia chebula (T. chebula) is well-known for its extensive therapeutic properties. Its usefulness against bacteria, viruses, oxidation, inflammation, glycemia, and tumors has ...
A team of researchers at Kobe Gakuin University in Japan have genetically engineered insulin-fused proteins capable of targeting hippocampal neurons. The innovative technique capitalizes on insulin's natural tendency to accumulate ...
Recent advances in the study of proteomes (i.e., the entire range of proteins expressed by human cells and tissues) have opened new opportunities for identifying the biological markers of specific diseases or mental disorders. ...
Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are highly debilitating medical conditions arising from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Studies exploring the ...
