Researchers have identified potential drug targets in glioblastoma cancer stem cells, providing a new approach to treat this aggressive brain cancer. By analyzing stem cells derived from patient tumors, scientists…
Researchers identified 16 distinct types of nerve cells involved in human touch and compared them with those in mice and macaques, showing both shared and unique traits. The study reveals…
A new study reveals that personality traits influence both physical activity and sedentary behavior patterns. People with resilient personalities, marked by high conscientiousness and extraversion, tend to engage in longer…
A mother’s ability to regulate her response to trauma can significantly lessen PTSD symptoms in her children, particularly in high-stress regions. The research observed 131 mothers and young children in…
On the campaign trail, both former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are eager to portray themselves as guardians of Medicare. Each presidential candidate accuses the other of…
Researchers have identified unique RNA structures called G-quadruplexes (G4s) that promote harmful α-synuclein protein aggregation linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s. Elevated calcium levels trigger these G4s, acting as "scaffolds"…
Researchers have developed a method to analyze extracellular vesicles (EVs) in blood for early detection of Parkinson’s disease (PD). By isolating EVs and assessing their contents, the team identified a…
Scientists have developed a novel polymer-based therapy that could slow Huntington's disease progression by preventing harmful protein clumps in the brain. In a mouse model, this polymer therapy effectively halted…
Researchers have identified specific cell types in the amygdala linked to anxiety, revealing potential new targets for treatment. By analyzing gene expression in human and macaque brains, scientists discovered clusters…
Research has shown that HSV-1, the virus responsible for cold sores, can spread into specific areas of the brain and may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases. Mapping HSV-1’s path reveals it…
