Researchers have made a promising discovery for people suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Insulin administered intranasally has lasting results for improving memory. Read More
A new study reviews the cases of two children who presented polio-like symptoms in Germany during the summer of 2016. Similar cases have been reported in the US and numerous other countries over the past few years. Read More
Urolithins, compounds which are created when the gut breaks down polyphenols in pomegranate extract, may protect against Alzheimer's disease, a new study reports. Read More
Researchers have developed a cyclic peptide that can enhance blood-brain barrier penetration. Read More
Researchers use focused ultrasound to safely and non-invasively open the blood-brain barrier in Alzheimer's patients. Read More
Elevated pulse pressure in blood traveling to the brain causes inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in the blood-brain barrier that leads to brain damage. Read More
Microglia initially protects the blood-brain barrier from damage due to systemic inflammation. However, microglia can alter their behavior and increase the permeability of the blood-brain barrier, thus damaging it. Read More
Increased blood brain barrier permeability may be a key mechanism in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, a new study reports. Read More
Researchers use dextrose to enhance MRI images of brain tumors. Read More
A newly developed model that mimics the blood-brain barrier could help researchers more efficiently test drugs to treat a range of neurological diseases. Read More
An experimental nanotechnology drug crosses the blood-brain barrier and targets brain tumor cells, a new study suggests. The drug also blocks the growth of tumor blood vessels. Read More
