Krabbe disease causes degeneration of neurons directly: Study
Updated : 3 years, 8 months ago IST
Washington [US], July 6 (ANI): According to a new study, the gene defect underlying Krabbe disease causes degeneration of neurons directly, independent of its effects on other cell types. The discovery represents a new mechanism of action for the mutant gene, presenting a more accurate pictu

Updated : 3 years, 8 months ago IST
Washington [US], June 20 (ANI): New genetic findings add weight to the theory that degenerative motor neuron disease is caused by abnormal lipid (fat) processing pathways inside brain cells. This theory could help pave the way for new diagnostic approaches and treatments for this group of co

Possibility of changing the identity of synapses between neurons : Study
Updated : 3 years, 9 months ago IST
New York [US], June 14 (ANI): A new study by the Colorado State University suggests that the cells in your brain, called neurons, are sending rapid-fire electrical signals between each other, transmitting information. They're doing so via tiny, specialized junctions between them called synap
