A novel therapeutic, which is based on nanotechnology, turns off a critical gene and increases survival rates in mice with glioblastoma brain cancer, a new study reports.
A new study links a lack of SMG1 to protein aggregates associated with Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Researchers have identified a new toxic entity associated with genetically inherited forms of frontotemporal dementia and motor neuron disease.
Researchers discover specific molecules which could be targeted to treat Alzheimer's disease.
Incorrect levels of GSK-3ß, a protein linked to Alzheimer's disease, can lead to neural blockages.
Researchers studying the cause of A-T disease believe their findings could provide new clues to understanding neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
