A new study considers how early nutrition can affect a baby's brain development.
Iron accumulation in the brain's neocortex has been linked to cognitive decline in people with Alzheimer's disease.
Findings could provide a new avenue for treating multiple sclerosis, researcher report.
Study finds no association between mineral levels or dietary mineral intake and an increased risk of multiple sclerosis.
Researchers found tiny deposits of elemental copper and iron in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. The findings may shed new light on how these elemental metals contribute to Alzheimer's development and progression.
Researchers have identified an over accumulation of iron in the mitochondria of mice genetically engineered to have Huntington's disease.
Analyzing genetic data from over 48,000 people, researchers discovered higher iron levels are associated with an increased risk of cardioembolic stroke.
Researchers identified two genes that respond to age-related iron accumulation in the substantia nigra. Knockdown of these genes results in severely impairing the cellular tolerance for iron toxicity.
A new study reports inadequate iron intake during pregnancy can have implications for infant brain development.
A breakdown in regulatory mechanisms causes iron to build up in the brain during aging, increasing oxidative stress and increasing the risk of age-related cognitive decline, a new study reports.
Those with hereditary hemochromatosis who have two copies of the gene mutation that cause the disorder have an increased risk of developing movement disorders including Parkinson's disease.
Researchers identify iron containing microglia in the hippocampus of Alzheimer's patients.
