Huntington's disease, a fatal, inherited neurodegenerative condition, is caused by a genetic error present at birth, though its symptoms often don't begin until middle adulthood. Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have been trying to understand how the ageing
Washington [US], October 4 (ANI): Medical researchers have discovered how to create more accurate, consistent brain organoids to develop treatments for neurological disorders.
Washington [US], October 1 (ANI): Researchers have discovered a protein that is responsible for controlling cell growth in yeasts. Since humans and yeasts have remarkably similar cellular mechanisms, teasing out the differences presents drug developers with new targets for treatments.
Liege [Belgium], September 22 (ANI): Researchers at the University of Liege in Liege, Belgium, led a Human Brain Project (HBP) study that looked at novel methods that could enable patients with severe brain damage or who were in a coma discern between two different neurological disorders. Th
Washington [US], September 11 (ANI): Researchers at the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), Mount Sinai's Icahn School of Medicine, and other organisations have successfully reversed the effects of several lethal inherited neurodegenerative diseases known as lysosom
Birmingham [UK], September 9 (ANI): Patients suffering from a type of elevated brain pressure may have their disease recognised earlier thanks to new biochemical clues, according to new research.
Washington [US], September 9 (ANI): Scientists at Mount Sinai's Icahn School of Medicine, the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), and other institutions have reversed the effects of several life-threatening inherited neurodegenerative diseases known as lysosomal st
New Delhi [India], September 4 (ANI): The heart and neurological disorders have seen an uptick as a result of the post-COVID condition which reportedly began since the second wave of the virus, according to health experts.
Washington [US], August 31 (ANI): Star-shaped cells called astrocytes may bear the brunt of the responsibility for exacerbating the symptoms of some neurodevelopmental disorders. Scientists have now identified a molecule produced by astrocytes that interferes with normal neuron development i
Daejeon [South Korea], August 4 (ANI): The US Food and Drug Administration recently approved Aduhelm, a monoclonal antibody that targets amyloid beta (A), as the first Alzheimer's disease treatment (AD). Its impact on cognitive improvement, however, is controversial.
Daejeon [South Korea], August 4 (ANI): Aduhelm, a monoclonal antibody that targets amyloid beta (A), was recently found by the US Food and Drug Administration as the first treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its impact on cognitive improvement is still debatable.
Washington [US], July 16 (ANI): According to a recent study, a group of researchers developed wireless technology to remotely activate specific brain circuits in fruit flies in just one second.
