A new protein which will help scientists to understand why nerve cells die in people with Alzheimer's disease has been designed in a University of Sussex laboratory.
In people with Alzheimer's, Amyloid-beta (Abeta) proteins stick together to make amyloid fibrils...
Women with ADHD are much more likely to have a wide range of mental and physical health problems in comparison to women without ADHD, according to a new study from researchers at the University of Toronto.
"The prevalence of mental...
Long-term treatment with broad spectrum antibiotics decreased levels of amyloid plaques, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, and activated inflammatory microglial cells in the brains of mice in a new study by neuroscientists from the University of Chicago.
The study, published...
For the first time, scientists have shown that malaria-transmitting mosquitoes actively avoid feeding on certain animal species such as chickens, using their sense of smell. Odors emitted by species such as chickens could provide protection for humans at risk...
This figure shows confocal images of cells, shown in green, and the corresponding uptake of lipoproteins in those cells, shown in red. Compared to cells with the wild type (WT) form of TREM2, cells with mutant forms of TREM2...
Researchers at the University of Valencia's Cavanilles Institute of Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology have put the 'unguarded X hypothesis' to the test and confirmed that differences in lifespan between the sexes, a widespread phenomenon in nature, may indeed be...

Higher education is associated with a reduced risk of developing heart failure after a heart attack, reports a study in more than 70,000 patients published today in theEuropean Journal of Preventive Cardiology.
"Heart failure is a serious complication of acute...
Primary hippocampal neurons from mice express G2019S-LRRK2. The neurons were treated with alpha-synuclein fibrils, and 18 days later immunofluorescence was performed. The magenta shows phospho-alpha-synuclein inclusions in the cell bodies and throughout the axons, which are visualized as green.Credit:...
Insight may be impaired in people where connections between areas of the brain involved in conflict detection are abnormal. Credit: UIC
Abnormalities in brain regions involved in forming insight may help explain why some people with anorexia nervosa have trouble recognizing...
Cedars-Sinai scientists are seeking to build an improved stem-cell model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) to accelerate progress toward a cure for the devastating neurological disorder. Their findings demonstrate that current models can be enhanced by the aging of...
