Focused ultrasound combined with microbubbles is increasingly being used to safely and reversibly open the blood-brain barrier (BBB) for the treatment of brain tumors and neurodegenerative disorders.

A UCSF team finds a liver protein, released with exercise, that improves memory in aging and Alzheimer’s disease by repairing the brain’s blood vessels. It's the missing link between exercise and ...

Researchers develop synthetic markers that cross the blood-brain barrier, allowing for noninvasive monitoring of the living brain via blood tests.

Researchers demonstrated that released markers of activity (RMAs), engineered proteins that cross the blood-brain barrier and ...

A researcher at the University of Missouri has made a promising breakthrough in the quest to help people with amyotrophic ...

Exercise may sharpen the mind by repairing the brain’s protective shield. Researchers found that physical activity prompts the liver to release an enzyme that removes a harmful protein causing the ...

A clinical trial shows that combining laser heat therapy with immunotherapy significantly extends the lives of patients with aggressive, recurrent brain cancer.

A protein reinforces the blood–brain barrier, which becomes leaky with age. Exercise prevents brain ageing and memory loss by strengthening the blood–brain barrier, the structure that keeps harmful ...

Exercise has a well known association with the maintenance of healthy cognition in aging, but the exact, biological reasons behind that link are not ... | Cell And Molecular Biology ...

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is meant to protect the brain from noxious agents; however, it also significantly hinders the delivery of therapeutics to the brain. Several strategies have been employed ...

A new study shows exercise releases a liver enzyme that repairs aging brain blood vessels and restores memory in mice.

Researchers at UC San Francisco have identified a biological process that may explain why exercise sharpens thinking and ...
