The neurodegenerative condition chronic traumatic encephalopathy appears to be driven by damage to the blood-brain barrier ...

People with MS who carry the APOE4 gene variant show greater signs of nerve damage and cognitive decline than those who don't ...

Macquarie University researchers have discovered a naturally occurring protein found in human cells plays a powerful role in repairing damaged DNA—the molecule that carries the genetic instructions ...

Scientists reverse Alzheimer's memory loss in mice by using NAD+ to restore brain energy, defying decades of research.

A protein long studied for its role in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia now appears to serve a second, equally critical function, safeguarding the integrity of human DNA.

A widely used drug combination in anti-aging research may have a far more complicated effect on the brain than previously recognized. In mice, the treatment appeared to disrupt the cells responsible ...

Cancer’s strongest gene switches push DNA into damaging overdrive, creating repeated breaks and repairs that may fuel tumor ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often debilitating autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). This disease causes the immune system to mistakenly attack the protective ...
