Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
According to a recent study from the Boston Medical Centre, there is a connection between biomarkers found in the vitreous humour of the eye and pathologically confirmed cases of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) in post-mortem brain and eye tissue.

Study discovers how new blood serum test detect neurodegenerative disorder
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
Synucleinopathies are neurodegenerative disorders caused by an aberrant accumulation of a-synuclein, a protein present in the brain and neurons. Incorrect a-synuclein folding results in the production of'seeds,' which attract more -synuclein proteins to build larger clumps. Although a-synucl

Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
A multinational study team led by experts from DZNE, University Hospital Bonn, and the Netherlands studied brain immune cells and used laser irradiation to alter them. As molecular mediators, gene transcripts (mRNAs) will be used. Scientists want to learn more about how these cells change th

How brain cells are starved of energy in autophagy dysfunction: Study
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
According to new research, neurodegeneration in brain cells may occur when the normal cellular cleansing mechanism failed owing to declining levels of a coenzyme related to niacin and deprives cells of energy.

Researchers discover therapeutic target to aid glaucoma treatment
Updated : 3 years ago IST
A damaged optic nerve underlies the neurodegenerative illness glaucoma, which results in visual loss and eventual blindness. Glaucoma affects more than 2,00,000 persons in the United States annually. Regrettably, there is no cure at this time. Researchers discovered that neurons use mitochon

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, 1 month 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
