How do harmful proteins accumulate in Alzheimer's and other diseases?
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Under normal conditions, tau protein is a vital component of the brain's infrastructure, helping to stabilise neurons into their appropriate forms. However, tau can become tangled and toxic, harming brain tissue and generating tauopathies, a category of brain illnesses characterised by diffi

Here is how to analyse brain signals to look into brain illness
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
It is crucial to analyse and interpret brain signals in order to investigate brain illnesses and develop new remedies. Although neural probes linked to the brain may detect small biosignals, they lack the ability to amplify and process them, necessitating the use of a second amplifier.

Gene activity analysis helps to classify brain diseases: Study
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
Yashar Zeighami's research at McGill University in Canada gives a novel technique to characterise brain illnesses. The study, published in the open-access journal PLOS Biology, indicates that comparing transcriptomes (the map of activity for all genes in the genome) associated with different

Researchers suggest promising, safe approaches for brain treatment
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), specialised molecules that may regulate RNA and affect protein creation, are being injected directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, the region around the brain and spinal cord, as a prospective treatment for a variety of brain illnesses.

Researchers suggest gene therapy to treat neurological disorders
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Excessive activity of a limited number of brain cells causes several brain illnesses, including epilepsy. These diseases frequently do not react well to drug treatment, owing to the fact that drug influence the entire brain. A recent study revealed gene therapy to for neurological disorder.
