Neurodegeneration is the umbrella term for the progressive loss of structure or function of neurons, including death of neurons.

SARS-CoV-2 activates NLRP3 inflammasome

Researchers assessed the role of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation.

Scientists illuminate the molecular events underlying childhood movement disorder

Scientists at the UNC School of Medicine and UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, in collaboration with a team from Queen Mary University of London, have illuminated the molecular events underlying an inherited movement and neurodegenerative disorder known as ARSACS – Autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay, named for two Quebec valleys where the first cases were found.

Scientists reveal anti-inflammatory molecules that play an important role in aging

Aging involves complicated plot twists and a large cast of characters: inflammation, stress, metabolism changes, and many others. Now, a team of Salk Institute and UC San Diego scientists reveal another factor implicated in the aging process-;a class of lipids called SGDGs (3-sulfogalactosyl diacylglycerols) that decline in the brain with age and may have anti-inflammatory effects.

Study provides new insights into genetic form of frontotemporal dementia

Dementia encompasses a range of neurodegenerative conditions that lead to memory loss and cognitive deficiencies and affect some 55 million people worldwide.

Huntington's disease impairs autophagy in older patients

Huntington's disease, a fatal, inherited neurodegenerative condition, is caused by a genetic error present at birth, though its symptoms often don't begin until middle adulthood.

New studies point to a broadly applicable treatment for neurodegenerative diseases

Two new studies from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis support development of a broadly applicable treatment for neurodegenerative diseases that targets a molecule that serves as the central executioner in the death of axons, the wiring of the nervous system.

Exploring new therapeutic targets and biomarkers for neurodegenerative disorders

In this interview, Dr. Shebna Massey discusses neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and more. She also discusses and explores new therapeutic targets and biomarkers for these diseases.

Newly identified brain molecule orchestrates the immune system's responses to Alzheimer's and MS

UVA Health researchers have discovered a molecule in the brain responsible for orchestrating the immune system's responses to Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis (MS), potentially allowing doctors to supercharge the body's ability to fight those and other devastating neurological diseases.
