Study finds the immune system may benefit from a measure of stress.
Children who contracted COVID-19 are at increased risk of being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Researchers found a 72% increase in new Type 1 diabetes cases in those under 18 who contracted COVID-19.
The risk of developing Alzheimer's disease almost doubled in older people during the one-year period following COVID-19 infection.
Researchers have uncovered a neural circuit that involves spinal neurons and a signaling pathway that is responsible for how burning pain is sensed.
COVID-19 breakthrough cases that result in severe infection, hospitalization, or death are more likely in those with cancer and Alzheimer's patients.
Researchers have identified a link between misshapen, fast replicating tau proteins, and accelerated cognitive decline. The findings shed new light on the development and progression of Alzheimer's disease.
Cryogenic-electron microscopy allowed researchers to determine the basic building blocks of prion proteins, including the placements of their amino acids.
Study reveals the surface features of human prions responsible for their replication in the brain. The findings provide a template to identify structurally important sites on other misfolded proteins, such as those associated with Alzheimer's disease.
A neuroimaging study of people with Down syndrome reveals subtle differences in the structure and function of the hippocampus.
A previously unknown gene and associated protein have been linked to the development of Alzheimer's disease. By suppressing the protein, named Aggergatin by the researchers, it may be possible to slow down or prevent the development of the neurodegenerative disease.
Researchers used the HoloLense software to create an interactive holographic mapping system for axonal pathways in the human brain.
Researchers say the 4.5 million-year old fossil shows evidence of greater reliance on bipedalism than previously suggested.
