Researchers uncover potential role of gut bacteria in neurodegeneration

Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) are all characterized by clumped, misfolded proteins and inflammation in the brain. In more than 90 percent of cases, physicians and scientists do not know what causes these processes to occur.

ISU research may suggest new cure for Parkinson's disease

Recently published research from Iowa State University may hint at a new treatment for Parkinson's disease.

Women may have better verbal memory skills than men during early stages of Alzheimer's disease

Women may have better verbal memory skills than men even when their brains show the same level of problems metabolizing glucose, which occurs in people with Alzheimer's disease, according to research published in the October 5, 2016, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

Gut may play key role in preventing Parkinson's disease

Your gut may play a pivotal role in preventing the onset of Parkinson's disease. And the reason may be its knack for sleuthing.

Scientists find evidence of link between coronavirus and neurological disease

For the first time, researchers have found proof of a direct association between strain OC 43 of the human coronavirus (HCoV) and neurological disease in humans.

Novel bifunctional dimers show promise in preventing Parkinson's disease

A team of researchers from the University of Saskatchewan has developed two caffeine-based chemical compounds that show promise in preventing the ravages of Parkinson's disease.

Immunotherapy already in clinical trials for cancer could slow progression of Parkinson's disease

Researchers at Johns Hopkins report they have identified a protein that enables a toxic natural aggregate to spread from cell to cell in a mammal's brain — and a way to block that protein's action.

Study finds no evidence that exercise may lower woman’s risk of developing MS

A large, new study shows no evidence that exercise may reduce a woman's risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS).

28 Sep 2016

Increasing specific brain fats could be potential strategy for preventing epileptic seizures

Increasing the concentration of specific fats in the brain could suppress epileptic seizures. This is evident from ground-breaking research carried out by the research groups of Professor Patrik Verstreken and Professor Wim Versées.

26 Sep 2016

Experimental drug may prevent development of multiple sclerosis in mice

The experimental drug laquinimod may prevent the development or reduce the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) in mice, according to research published in the September 21, 2016, online issue of Neurology Neuroimmunology & Neuroinflammation, a medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

Enzyme deficiency in Krabbe's disease may point to new mechanisms underlying Parkinson's disease

A new article suggests that an enzyme deficiency seen in the lysosomal storage disorder Krabbe's disease may point to new mechanisms underlying certain late-onset neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease.

Study provides deeper understanding of how cells' crowded surfaces induce complex protein behavior

Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute have brought physics and biology together to further understand how cells' crowded surfaces induce complex protein behavior.
