The amyloid-β precursor protein (APP) helps to form links between the brain’s neurons. It has been highly studied because its ...

For 30 years, researchers have known that Huntington's is caused by an inherited mutation in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene, but they didn't know how the mutation causes brain cell death. A new study ...

In a brain equivalent to that of a 60-year-old, however, the surrounding cells did nothing, and the myelin was lost. "That model gets us as close as we can get to the cell-death process that ...

“So that could be the near-death experience ... subatomic scale inside our brain cells, beyond the usual electrical signals we are familiar with. Scientists are investigating whether the ...

A game-changing drug to protect millions of brain cells from dying after a stroke has been developed in Australia with hopes it could save lives across the globe. Argenica Therapeutics' ARG-007 is ...

Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have found a potential new target for treating Parkinson's disease.

For the past decade, scientists have been exploring a unique way to treat Alzheimer’s disease using gentle sensory ...

When blood supply to the brain becomes compromised, every passing minute means more brain cells dying. Recognizing these warning signs immediately and taking swift action by calling emergency ...

The fungus is detected by the receptor that does a normal process to induce innate immunity, but in the brain this can also trigger an immune-evasion pathway that induces cell death in the host ...

The new research reveals how a protein in brain cells may drive Parkinson's onset -- and offers a possible explanation for why Parkinson's is much more common in men.
