After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, forms an abnormal connection with an enzyme called ClpP. This enzyme normally ...

Researchers are testing a new approach to repair early memory loss by protecting brain connections affected in Alzheimer’s ...

Our brain’s memory center bears a sleek design. A peek into living tissue from human hippocampi, a brain region crucial for memory and learning, revealed relatively few cell-to-cell connections for ...

Singapore has one of the highest life expectancies in the world, yet many individuals spend almost a decade in poor health toward the end of life. Scientists from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, ...

Researchers identified DMTF1 as a key transcription factor driving neural stem cell regeneration during aging. The study ...

We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (T RM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease. Rather than coursing through the bloodstream-as many T cells ...

The researchers found that clearing away damaged but undying brain cells (known as zombie cells) in mouse models of epilepsy ...

The brain seeks novelty. Passive tasks can lead to skill decline. Challenging the brain with new learning, like a new ...

At the surface, the immune response to a flu virus is simple. Some cells recognize the pathogen and send a signal to the immune system, and immune cells produce a potentially lifesaving antibody ...
