How do harmful proteins accumulate in Alzheimer's and other diseases?
Updated : 5 months, 2 weeks ago IST
Under normal conditions, tau protein is a vital component of the brain's infrastructure, helping to stabilise neurons into their appropriate forms. However, tau can become tangled and toxic, harming brain tissue and generating tauopathies, a category of brain illnesses characterised by diffi

Reducing stress on T cells improves their ability to fight cancer: Study
Updated : 5 months, 2 weeks ago IST
Even for killer T cells, which are specialised immune cells, searching for and eliminating cancer cells around the clock can be challenging. Scientists can produce stronger cancer-killing cells if they understand why killer T cells become exhausted.

Study gives more insight into evidence that Parkinson’s starts in gut
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
A neurological ailment, Parkinson's disease. Uncontrollable tremors, sluggish movements, and the sensation that one's feet are stuck to the ground are all hallmarks of Parkinson's disease, which is caused by the death of neurons in a part of the brain that aids in movement control.

Study sheds more light on key link to autism spectrum disorder
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
Mayo Clinic and Yale University scientists determined that the origins of autism spectrum disorder may be related to an imbalance of particular neurons that play a vital role in how the brain communicates and works using human "mini-brain" models known as organoids. The cells in question are
