The cerebral cortex, the outermost layer of the brain, is the central driver of various human capabilities, including decision-making, perception, language and memory. Understanding how the morphology (i.e., structure and ...
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center researchers have identified a metabolic switch that determines whether intestinal stem cells become absorptive or secretory cells. Manipulating the enzyme OGDH either fuels cell expansion ...
The activity of the human brain is known to be closely connected to other physiological signals, such as heart rate and breathing. A study by researchers at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and other institutes ...
Erythritol may impair cellular functions essential to maintaining brain blood vessel health, according to researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder. Findings suggest that erythritol increases oxidative stress, disrupts ...
The human brain, like the brain of other mammals, is known to start developing before birth, via a coordinated sequence of molecular and cellular processes. Neuroscience studies have found that the choroid plexus (ChP), a ...
Use of common psychiatric medications (anxiolytics, hypnotics and sedatives, and antidepressants) is linked to a higher risk of developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and poorer outcomes after diagnosis with shorter ...
A team of geriatricians, neurologists, nutritionists and public health specialists affiliated with a host of institutions across China, working with a pair of colleagues from Australia, has found that of all the transportation ...
Dementia before age 80 is potentially preventable through early intervention on common vascular risk factors, according to research led by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Findings suggest that up to 44% ...
Semaglutide, widely used to treat diabetes and obesity, was associated with more than double the risk of developing neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) in older patients with diabetes, according to researchers ...
A team led by the University of Sydney has identified red blood cell rupture at dying endothelial sites as a primary driver of microvascular obstruction in COVID-19, bypassing the expected role of fibrin and platelet clots.
