A new study published in the Journal of Neurosurgery highlights the potential of focused ultrasound technology in treating ...

Cornell researchers discovered that brain immune cells, called microglia, can partially break down Alzheimer’s amyloid ...

Microglia can partially break down amyloid plaques by "spitting" a digestive enzyme at them, a new study has found.

Immune cells in the brain called microglia can partially break down large amyloid plaques characteristic of Alzheimer's ...

Dopamine, commonly known as the “feel-good” hormone, may hold the key to breaking down beta-amyloid plaques—abnormal protein clusters that interfere with brain function and are hallmarks of ...

The brain is a very busy organ and as it works, it accumulates toxic proteins that can cause sticky plaques. These plaques ...

Immune cells in the brain called microglia can partially break down large amyloid plaques characteristic of Alzheimer's disease by latching on to ...

In previous studies the activation of the virus in brain tissue in the lab led to the hallmarks of the condition, including the development of amyloid plaques, the degradation of neurons ...

"We can re-create normal tissue environments that look like the inside of a brain, track viruses, plaques, proteins, genetic activity, inflammation and even measure the level of signaling between ...

newly formed plaques of sticky amyloid proteins, and all around them dying neurons — the signature marks of Alzheimer’s disease. Meanwhile, infection-free brain tissues recovered from the ...

Danish scientists found that a molecule called norepinephrine plays a key role in brain cleaning in mice. During deep sleep, ...
