A recently found gene could influence lifespan
Researchers found that among all proteins, one protein-OSER1, greatly influences longevity.
Alzheimer’s disease is caused by a cellular population in the brain
The researchers collected several thousand cells in each brain from a region of the brain that is affected by Alzheimer’s and ageing.
Our Brain Cells Are Being Flinged by Mitochondria with Their DNA
Mitochondria live in all our cells, but unlike other organelles, mitochondria sport their own DNA—a small, circular strand with about three dozen genes.
Activity-driven brain wiring even during early embryonic development
The researchers focused on mouse retinal ganglion cells in the study, which project from the retina to the superior colliculus a part of the brain where they synapse onto downstream target neurons.
Monoclonal Antibodies – Definition, Structure and Working
Monoclonal antibodies revolutionized medicine by introducing a range of targeted therapies against malignant diseases, autoimmune disorders, infectious diseases, and many others. They are engineered from [Read More…]
Researchers developed AI-powered detection of genetic epilepsies over current genetic diagnosis
Numerous treatments are being developed to target the genes causing the more than 100 epilepsies that have been linked to a single gene mutation.
Developing connections between neurons to maintain brain health
Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, and Parkinson’s disease are among the neurodegenerative diseases that are characterized by the buildup of abnormal proteins.
Research identified brain circuits for placebo effect pain relief
The researchers then demonstrated that specific neurons and synapses along this pathway are highly activated when mice expect and experience pain relief, even in the absence of medication.
CRISPR technology paves the way for a new antidote for Cobra bites
Every year, hundreds of individuals are killed by cobra venom, and an estimated 100,000 more suffer severe injuries from necrosis, which is the loss of bodily tissue and cells and can result in amputation.
