Immune molecule's complex role in Huntington's disease: Study
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
More than a decade before people with Huntington's disease show symptoms, they can exhibit abnormally high levels of an immune-system molecule called interleukin-6 (IL-6), which has led many researchers to suspect IL-6 of promoting the eventual neurological devastation associated with the ge

Research: Growing motor neurons guided by 'love-hate relationship' with bl
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
When neurons involved in movement called motor neurons form, they must build connections that reach from the brain, brainstem, or spinal cord all the way to the head, arms, or the tips of the toes. How neurons navigate these systems and "decide" where and how to grow has largely been a myste

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.
