Study reveals how neural stem cells potentially be reactivated to form new
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Neural stem cells that are quiescent or latent in some parts of the adult brain may one day become active and create new neurons. Yet, nothing is currently known about the change from quiescence to proliferation.

New electrical method triggers and analyzes dynamics of brain protein that
Updated : 3 years ago IST
A new method developed by researchers at UC Santa Barbara gives the ability to control and follow in real time the process by which it happens. The technique employs a novel use of low voltage electricity as a surrogate for the natural signals that trigger the protein to fold and assemble, b

Study finds neurodegenerative disease progression linked to proteins in br
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Many neurodegenerative illnesses, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, are mostly caused by tau and tubulin proteins. The accumulation of these proteins in the brain is mostly responsible for the advancement of neurodegenerative diseases.

Study reveals how neurons respond to aged-related iron accumulation
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Iron (Fe) accumulates in the brain cortex with aging. A plethora of studies indicate that progressive iron accumulation in the substantia nigra (SN) in the aged human brain is a major risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD) and other neurodegenerative diseases, but not everyone. This is bec

Study finds how wasteosomes indicate dysfunction of glymphatic system
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Wasteosomes, structures that act as storage facilities for waste products from the brain, are used to demonstrate the malfunction of the glymphatic system, a recently identified system that is a crucial brain-cleaning mechanism.
