Scientists reveal how exercise protects brain from Alzheimer's: Study
Updated : 2 weeks, 6 days ago IST
Exercise may sharpen the mind by repairing the brain's protective shield. Researchers found that physical activity prompts the liver to release an enzyme that removes a harmful protein, causing the blood-brain barrier to become leaky with age.

Study finds how antidepressants have potential for treating brain tumours
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Glioblastoma is an extremely aggressive brain tumour that is currently incurable. Cancer doctors can increase their patients' life expectancy with surgeries, radiation, chemotherapy, or surgical procedures. Nonetheless, half of patients die within a year of diagnosis.

Researchers identify vascular changes in brain linked to Alzheimer's disea
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
The network of blood channels and tissues known as the blood-brain barrier, which nourishes and shields the brain from dangerous chemicals flowing in the blood, is compromised in Alzheimer's disease.

Study reveals novel therapeutic target for traumatic brain injury
Updated : 1 year, 10 months ago IST
Health outcomes vary greatly among the approximately 1.5 million Americans who survive a traumatic brain injury each year. Not only can these injuries cause loss of coordination, depression, impulsivity, and difficulties concentrating, but they also increase the risk of getting dementia in

Lipid molecules help to get stroke therapies into brain: Study
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Researchers are increasingly using the blood-brain barrier, which lets only particular chemicals from the blood into the brain, to get medicines into the brain after a stroke.

Study suggests how cancer spreads to the brain
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Options for treatment are limited when cancer spreads to the brain. The majority of medications made to fight metastases either cannot penetrate the blood-brain barrier or are ineffective against brain metastases.

Study: How antibodies across blood-brain barrier treat Alzheimer's disease
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Sometimes the finest things in life happen by coincidence, when we happen to be in the right location at the right moment. Now, Japanese researchers have discovered a method to ensure that new treatments are delivered to the proper area in the body and at the right moment in illness progress

Study finds new artificial model helps antibody-based treatments to reach
Updated : 3 years ago IST
An artificial blood-brain barrier model that has been constructed by researchers at Uppsala University is quick and accurate, and it may be used to assess how well antibody-based treatments can reach the brain. The new model may lessen the requirement for animal testing, which is now the mos

Everything you need to know about how blood-brain barrier works
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Researching the wall separating the circulatory system from the neurological system has been highly difficult or limited in its use of models. In order to properly investigate potential new treatments for brain tumours, researchers have created a more realistic model.
