Quadriplegics at Risk for Serious Sleep Breathing Disorder
Quadriplegics have a heightened risk of central sleep apnea, a new study reports.
Researchers May Have Discovered a Plan to Disable Meniere’s Disease
Researchers believe they may have discovered what causes Meniere’s disease and how to treat it.
Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery: Looking Under the Right ROCK
Researchers have discovered a potential drug which can force BACE into different parts of a cell, reducing its ability to produce amyloid beta.
Human Stem Cells Predict Efficacy of Alzheimer Drugs
Researchers transform iPSCs into neurons to test the efficacy of drugs to treat Alzheimer’s disease.
Study Treats Alzheimer’s by Delivering Protein Across Blood-Brain Barrier
Researchers discover a way to traverse the blood-brain barrier and retinal-blood barrier to deliver a molecule which degrades the main component of Alzheimer’s plaques.
Brain Cancer Cells Hide While Drugs Seek
Brain cancer cells resist therapy by temporarily losing gene mutations targeted by drugs, but re-amplify the mutation once the treatments have stopped, a new study reports.
A Simple Eye Test for Multiple Sclerosis
Researchers discover the pupils of MS patients respond much slower to stimuli. Additionally, the study reports the slower the response time, the worse the symptoms of MS are.
Estrogen: Not Just Produced by the Ovaries
New research shows the hypothalamus can directly control reproductive functions in rhesus monkeys. The researchers believe it is likely to perform the same actions in human women.
Kids Whose Bond With Mother Was Disrupted Early in Life Show Changes in Brain
A new neuroimaging study finds children who experienced maternal deprivation show different responses in the amygdala.
