Immunotherapy that blocks microglial Fcγ receptors prevents dopaminergic neuron loss in Parkinson’s disease, revealing a potential new strategy.

Using an aging clock, researchers from the University of Cologne have used the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to demonstrate that nerve cells age differently. They identified both the causes of ...

Published January 7 in the journal Nature, one paper tackled the age-old problem of nature’s construction with a bit of a twist: it suggests that living networks, like our brain, may use some of the ...

Dr. Maarten Dewilde, an associate professor at KU Leuven, sat down with Technology Networks to discuss molecular engineering ...

The first node sits in the peripheral nervous system. Sensory neurons in the vagus nerve detect damage in the heart and send signals upward. The researchers focused on a subset of vagal sensory ...

Only approximately 2 per cent of the human genome encodes proteins, the rest being left to serve as an elaborate control system- one that harbors much of the variants associated with common disease.

It could transform our understanding of why diseases develop and the medicines needed to treat them, says researchers.

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) School of Engineering have developed a novel ...

As people age, muscles naturally lose mass and strength, a condition known as sarcopenia. The decline can make everyday ...

Imagine enjoying a tasty dinner alone at home—you may freely indulge without worrying about others. Now imagine sharing the ...

Gene regulation is far more predictable than previously believed, scientists conclude after developing the deep learning ...
