When injected into mouse models of Alzheimer's disease, two short peptides significantly improved memory, reduced inflammation, and lowered amyloid plaque buildup in the brain. Read More
Reduced levels of an amino acid called betaine is associated with schizophrenia pathology. Supplementing betaine levels improved cognitive and behavioral deficits in mouse models of schizophrenia. The amino acid also reduced oxidative stress at the molecular level. Read More
Researchers say the sight and smell of food alone may be enough to prompt the liver to start the processes that help digest food. Read More
A new study considers how early nutrition can affect a baby's brain development. Read More
A new study reports peptides related to Alzheimer's disease wiggle at dangerously fast speeds prior to forming amyloid plaques. Read More
A new study reports Alzheimer's disease impairs insulin signalling in the hypothalamus, making it more likely that a person with Alzheimer's to develop diabetes. Read More
Administering a cocktail of amino acids to mice models of TBI, researchers improved sleep disturbances caused by the brain injuries. Read More
Using a new optogenetic technique, researchers change the shape of a protein in the brains of mice. Read More
Using sophisticated imaging techniques, researchers observe a molecular protein folding process which could help better understand and treat neurodegenerative diseases and cancers. Read More
Researchers discover an enzyme, IDH, which facilitates the breakdown of specific amino acids makes glioblastoma brain cancer particularly aggressive. Read More
