| |  A short workout or a nap can help protect memory after a sleepless night, a McGill University-led study has found. | |
|
| |  Research using human brain organoids onboard the International Space Station International Space Station (ISS) helped lead to the clinical trial of a potential therapy for Rett syndrome, a debilitating neurological disorder in children. | |
|
| |  A study by the University of Eastern Finland revealed for the first time clear differences in the function and gene expression of microglial cells from patients with genetic and sporadic types of frontotemporal dementia. | |
|
| |  Machine learning-derived cellular aging clocks mapped more than 7,000 plasma proteins to over 40 cell types, revealing marked differences in how individual cell populations age. These blood-based signatures were associated with future risks of Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, lung cancer, type 2 diabetes, and mortality across follow-up extending to 15 years. | |
|
| |  UVA Health researchers have discovered how a form of delirium that often strikes older patients after surgery may set the stage for dementia – and identified a drug that could reverse the underlying brain changes. | |
