Two new lines of brain research are testing whether aging cells can be nudged into working more like young ones. In one study, scientists boosted a protein called cyclin D-binding myb-like ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. High contrast illustration of a brain on a black background. The left half of the brain is purple and the right half is blue. To ...

Blood proteins tied to faster cognitive decline in older Black adults have been identified in a new Oxford journal study. A ...

A research group led by Professor Michael Glickman, dean of Technion's Faculty of Biology, has uncovered a key mechanism in the development of Alzheimer's. The mechanism in question identifies toxic ...

A study by the Leibniz Institute on Aging - Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena shows that the chemical composition of proteins in the brain undergoes fundamental changes with aging. In particular, ...

Scientists at Stanford may have uncovered a hidden reason our brains decline with age. Studying the ultra-short-lived turquoise killifish, researchers discovered that the cellular machinery ...

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive and permanent loss of nerve cells in the brain. The breakdown causes memory loss, functional impairment and personality changes. In a new study published in Nature ...

A mouse study reveals how aging immune cells may impair memory outside the brain, showing that blocking CD8+ T cell activity or their secreted factor, granzyme K, helped restore cognitive performance ...

The findings raise the possibility of new treatments for aging-related cognitive decline. Artificial neurons grown in petri dishes will grow branching wires, or neurites, with several “arms.” When ...

A new method lets researchers visualize messenger RNA translation across different brain cell types. In this image, CA3 pyramidal neurons of the mouse hippocampus glow magenta, indicating especially ...

A newly identified protein called GPNMB may play a major role in helping Parkinson’s disease spread through the brain. Researchers discovered that immune cells release the protein in response to ...
