Researchers have identified a key enzyme driving forms of Parkinson’s, and have shown how blocking it restores normal ...

Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 ...

Humans and other animal species can experience many types of pain throughout the course of their lives, varying in intensity, ...

NU-9 targets a shared underlying mechanism found in various neurodegenerative diseases. A new study from Northwestern ...

Hande Ozdinler, an associate professor of neurology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, discovered that NU-9 helped cells remove the protein clumps caused by two unrelated mutated ...

Until now, skin cells have been viewed as barriers that can respond to electric stimuli. Turns out, they also generate electric spikes, similar to neurons. Sahana is a science journalist and an intern ...

In animal models, NU-9 was found to show promise in treating Alzheimer's by reducing toxic protein buildup and brain ...

LI’s team combined advanced techniques such as single-cell transcriptome sequencing, bioinformatics analysis, immunofluorescence staining, and functional assays to analyze human clinical samples and ...

Although neurons are considered the basic units of the brain and nervous system, they do not do all the work. Glia are a non-neuronal category of cells that do not transmit electrical signals but ...

discovered that NU-9 helped cells remove the protein clumps caused by two unrelated mutated proteins to restore neuron function in animal models with ALS. Silverman and Klein wanted to explore ...

Moreover, researchers found that PNS microglia directly enwrap neuronal somas in peripheral ganglia, forming a Neuron-PNS Microglia-Satellite Glial Cell trio model. This revises the traditional ...
