A new study reveals a key mechanism by which the protein alpha-synuclein, the hallmark of Parkinson’s disease, damages neurons (brain cells) by blocking a vital cellular gateway. The results of the study, […]
Researchers at Imperial College London, the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS), and the University of Sheffield have shown that the physical twisting of DNA plays an important role in correcting for […]
Researchers at KU Leuven have discovered that specific immune cells in the gut play a crucial role in the development of bacterial infections in liver cirrhosis. The findings help explain why patients […]
Researchers at KU Leuven and Erasmus MC have discovered that cells can compensate for the loss of genes by increasing the activity of their remaining copy. Surprisingly, this balancing act does not […]
UC Berkeley and Caltech researchers tracked down genes that help zebrafish regenerate injured heart muscle. Can CRISPR activate this circuit in humans with heart disease? Humans can’t regenerate heart muscle damaged by […]
Researchers have created more than 3,800 anatomically accurate digital replicas of human hearts, revealing how age, sex and obesity influence the heart’s electrical behaviour. The technology could ultimately contribute to more personalised […]
Months after withdrawal, brain activity during decision-making remained impaired in rats For the first time, researchers demonstrated in an animal how heavy alcohol use leads to long-term behavioral issues by damaging brain […]
Scientists have discovered two genes that help melanoma cells change their shape as they move through different tissues. The finding reveals one of the tricks cancer uses to spread through the body […]
The advance makes it easier to detect circulating tumor DNA in blood samples, which could enable earlier cancer diagnosis and help guide treatment. Tumors constantly shed DNA from dying cells, which briefly […]
Exposure to air pollution, even imagining exposure to air pollution, may lead to unethical behavior, according to findings published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. A combination of archival and experimental studies indicates […]
Brisbane researchers have proven that a community dance program can improve the health and wellbeing of people living with Parkinson’s disease. In the first study of its kind in Australia, neuroscience, psychology […]
