Cardiovascular problems can alter gene activity in the hippocampus, increasing the risk for cognitive decline and memory deficits, a new study reports. Read More
Both the ApoE genotype and the sex of the mouse impacted the manner in which the animals with spinal cord injury responded to hypoxia treatment. Females with the ApoE e4 gene had a negative response to intermittent hypoxia. Read More
A new study of gene expression in the hippocampus has unveiled two new genes potentially implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Researchers have identified a genetic link between depression and an increased risk of developing stomach ulcers. Read More
Over-expression of the synaptic protein RAPGEF2 drives synaptic loss associated with Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Altered pain perception could be a new biomarker to assess late-onset Alzheimer's risk in cognitively healthy individuals with the AopE4 gene before symptoms occur. Read More
Huntington's disease may progress to advanced stages as a result of degradation of the cells' health maintenance system than due to the increased disease pathology itself. Read More
Study sheds light on DNA methylation related to sleep deprivation in those with shift-work disorder. Read More
Brain organoids, or mini-brains, created from human stem cells appear to develop in much the same way as a human brain. The organoids follow an internal clock that guides their maturation in sync with the timeline for human brain development. Read More
Injecting a patient's own bone marrow derived stem cells significantly improved motor function within weeks in those with spinal cord injuries. Read More
A new genetic study reveals the evolution of longevity and larger brains in capuchin monkeys. Read More
An antibody called HAE-4 targets APOE and removes Alzheimer's related amyloid plaques in mouse models. The antibody improves blood vessel function in the brain without raising the risk of brain bleeds. Read More
