SARS-CoV-2 hijacks tiny bridges that link infected cells with neurons to gain access to brain cells

COVID-19 often leads to neurological symptoms, such as a loss of taste or smell, or cognitive impairments (including memory loss and concentration difficulties), both during the acute phase of the disease and over the long term with "long COVID" syndrome.

Research reveals molecular clues associated with traumatic brain injury

New research led by scientists at Arizona State University has revealed some of the first detailed molecular clues associated with one of the leading causes of death and disability, a condition known as traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Supplementing diet with amino acid taurine could be a viable nutritional strategy to combat aging

When our cells process the oxygen we breathe and the food we eat every day in order to survive, they generate potentially toxic by-products popularly known as "free radicals".

Scientists show how lymphatics are associated with microglia and brain development in zebrafish

During the embryonic stage of brain development, some neurons and synapses form properly and connect, but others don't, causing some parts and pieces to be discarded.
