Up to 5.8 million Americans currently suffer from Alzheimer's disease, a neurological ailment marked by a progressive deterioration in cognitive function, including memory loss.
Sleep deprivation not only makes you feel terrible, but research has shown that it also affects your brain. Long-term sleep deprivation increases the risk of acquiring neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's.
Researchers are attempting to determine how a lack of sleep causes this damage.
Now, a team led by Assistant Professor Yasuro Furuichi from Tokyo Metropolitan University have emerged with a key part of the puzzle. In previous work, they found that Musashi-2 (Msi2), a protein originally discovered in nerve cells, was also expressed in skeletal muscle tissue.
Different cells in our pancreas perform critical functions in blood sugar regulation. The gene neurogenin 3 (NEUROG3) is discovered in pancreatic cells. Its mutant version may induce diabetes.
Researchers discovered that the protein Musashi-2 (Msi2) regulates bulk and metabolic processes in skeletal muscle. The study was published in the journal 'The FASEB Journal.'
Alzheimer's disease, a neurological disorder characterised with progressive cognitive decline, including memory loss, affects up to 5.8 million Americans today. Protein aggregates, made up of beta-amyloid or other proteins, occur in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. These beta-amyloid plaq
Lack of sleep not only makes you feel horrible, but study has proven that it harms your brain as well. Long-term sleep deprivation can significantly raise the chance of developing neurological illnesses like Alzheimer's.
Researchers are trying to figure out how lack of sleep results in this
In many neurodegenerative diseases, aberrant proteins build up and spread throughout the brain over time. But aggregation or propagation—which comes first? Japanese researchers offer some fresh perspectives on the mechanism underlying Parkinson's illness.
In a study published recently in C

Different cells in our pancreas play crucial roles in regulating our blood sugar. Neurogenin 3 (NEUROG3) is the name of a gene found in pancreatic cells. The mutated form of it may cause diabetes.
Israeli scientists have identified a protein could potentially unlock treatments for neurodegenerative diseases by facilitating nerve cell repair in the peripheral nervous system.
Higher levels of inflammation in the blood of obese patients after bariatric surgery have been proven to indicate less successful weight loss six months after the operation, according to research supported by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).
