  • Detecting Alzheimer’s Using a Dual Fluorochrome Near-Infrared Imaging Probe
    Life Sciences - 12 Mar 2020
    A group has developed a molecular imaging probe that can fluorescently image three key proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
  • Effect of Environmental Toxicants on Developing Neurodegenerative Conditions
    Life Sciences - 30 Sep 2020
    An article has discussed the impact of environmental toxicants amongst the role of a healthy diet, lifestyle improvement, and nutraceuticals.
  • Amyloid Cascade Hypothesis
    Life Sciences - 8 Jan 2019
    The amyloid cascade hypothesis postulates that the initial event which triggers neuronal degradation in Alzheimer’s disease is enhanced amyloid-ß generation and aggregation.
  • How Important is Intronic Variation?
    Life Sciences - 15 Jul 2019
    Intronic variation is highly common, but the majority of variants have no effect. This article describes cases where variants lead to disease.
  • What are Tau Proteins?
    Life Sciences - 20 Jul 2023
    Tau proteins are proteins that perform the function of stabilizing microtubules. These proteins are abundant in nerve cells and are present to a much lesser degree in oligodendrocytes and astrocytes....
  • Positron Emission Tomography
    Life Sciences - 19 Jul 2023
    Positron emission tomography (PET) is a non-invasive nuclear imaging technique which uses radioactive tracers. PET scans specifically look at the metabolism of a particular organ or tissue, and uses a...
  • The Tau (CDK5) Signaling Pathway
    Life Sciences - 14 Jan 2019
    In Alzheimer’s disease, CDK5 phosphorylates Tau, leading to the accumulation of tau within the axons of nerve cells and eventually, apoptosis.
  • What are Glycans?
    Life Sciences - 20 Sep 2021
    Glycans, which until recently have been poorly understood, are another class of compounds that have several important functions within organisms.
  • What are NMDA Receptors?
    Life Sciences - 9 Mar 2021
    N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are ligand-gated cation channels activated by an excitatory neurotransmitter, glutamate.
  • What are Neuronal Markers?
    Life Sciences - 6 Feb 2020
    Neurons are cells in the brain that govern signaling, and therefore are fundamental in sensory perception and emotional response.
