Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects around 55 million older adults worldwide. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms of AD are poorly understood.

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new role for little-known brain cells called tanycytes that may influence the development of Alzheimer’s disease. These specialized cells appear to help remove ...

Researchers say study findings have highlighted biomarkers that could help improve early diagnosis of esophageal cancer, when it is easier to treat.

Think of the brain as a city with traffic lights that keep signals flowing smoothly. In a new study, researchers followed a clue about nitric oxide, a common chemical messenger, and found that, in ...

A hidden molecular chain reaction in the brain may push key cellular systems into overdrive in autism—and scientists just found a way to switch it off.

A new study discovers how nitric oxide triggers a biochemical domino effect in the brain, leading to mTOR overactivation in ...

Scientists have discovered why ovarian cancer spreads so rapidly through the abdomen. Cancer cells enlist normally protective abdominal cells, forming mixed groups that work together to invade new ...

The Urban Prepper decodes classic hobo signs to reveal survival communication symbols and how preppers can use them. Former CIA officer Marc Polymeropoulos alleges CIA cover-up Kansas City ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

A 3D rendering showing the internal structure of an animal cell, with several round or wavy structures inside a border. It turns out that the redox state of a cell, such as the animal cell shown, is ...

New stem cell-based embryo model reveals previously unknown communication between early tissues that become the spine and muscles in the central part of the body. From the moment an embryo starts to ...
