While a comprehensive cure-all to these neurological conditions is unlikely, scientists are making headway into understanding their fundamental characteristics with the hope of preventing or ...

Synaptic plasticity is the biological process by which specific patterns of synaptic activity result in changes in synaptic strength and is thought to contribute to learning and memory. Both pre ...

Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) are debilitating conditions ...

Neurodegenerative disease like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) are debilitating conditions that affect millions of ...

Our brain requires a constant supply of energy. A disrupted energy supply, as, for instance, caused by a stroke, can have ...

By using tiny, naturally occurring particles called extracellular vesicles (EVs), they have created a way to boost the body's immune system to fight tumors more effectively. This breakthrough ...

Spinogenix announced open enrollment for its Phase II trial of SPG302, the first synaptic regenerative therapy for schizophrenia. According to the company, the launch of the Phase II trial comes amid ...

In large part, progress has been slow due to a scarcity of techniques for both (i) accurately quantifying composition-dependent properties of artificial cell models at the single-vesicle level and (ii ...

By using tiny, naturally occurring particles called extracellular vesicles (EVs), they have created a way to boost the body's immune system to fight tumors more effectively. This breakthrough could ...

However, the accumulation and secretion of synaptic vesicles (inside which the neurotransmitters are confined) remained unaffected in these neurons. Furthermore, ultrastructural analysis indicated ...
