A decade of studies from labs around the world provide a growing evidence base that increasing the power of the brain's gamma rhythms could help fight Alzheimer's, and perhaps other, neurological ...
A decade after scientists at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT first began testing whether sensory ...
For decades, scientists have relied on electrodes and dyes to track the electrical activity of living cells. Now, engineers ...
A molecule called glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) rose significantly in the blood of patients who underwent ...
Scientists know that a build-up of specific proteins in the brain is associated with Alzheimer’s disease. However, by the time these proteins have become visible in brain scans, disease ...
Alzheimer’s research has long focused on two harmful proteins, amyloid beta (Aβ) and tau, which build up in the brain and are thought to drive the disease. However, in some cases, the severity ...
We examined acetylcholinesterase, plasma neuronal proteins, secreted beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP), and amyloid-beta 40 and amyloid-beta 42 peptides in children with and without autism.
Protein folding is the process by which proteins achieve their mature functional (native) tertiary structure, and often begins co-translationally. Protein folding requires chaperones and often ...
June 15, 2021 — A new therapy prompts immune defense cells to swallow misshapen proteins, amyloid beta plaques and tau tangles, whose buildup is known to kill nearby brain cells as part of ...
The study was focused on analyzing tau, a protein in the brain that plays a key role in Alzheimer's. In people with the neurological disease, tau proteins undergo chemical changes, forming tangled ...
The variant causes a person's brain to accumulate beta amyloid and phosphorylated tau proteins, the hallmarks of Alzheimer's. When Whitney turned 60 and still had no symptoms, he assumed he didn't ...
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a combination of four congenital (present at birth) heart defects that affect infants and children. The defects occur together and change the way blood flows through the ...
