Put “Alien” on standby — because science may be inching a tiny step closer to real-life cryosleep. In a breakthrough that ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Microplastics are everywhere, both across nature and inside our ...

Researchers have achieved what once sounded like science fiction: using engineered nanoparticles to restore brain function in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease. By repairing damaged blood vessels in ...

As aging bodies decline, the brain loses the ability to cleanse itself of waste, a scenario that scientists think could be contributing to neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and ...

Healthy brain function relies on a steady supply of blood. Disruptions in blood flow are linked to major neurological conditions like stroke, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and traumatic brain injuries.

A recent study published in the journal Nature showed that the dysregulation of the brain endothelial glycocalyx layer impairs the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in disease and aging. The BBB forms a ...

A research team drawn from collaborators across the USA has developed a super-resolution photoacoustic imaging method that ...

Microvessels form the blood-brain barrier, a network that regulates molecular transfer between the vasculature and brain parenchyma. In cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), a leading cause of stroke ...

Reduced levels of a critical protein are linked to devastating brain diseases like Alzheimer's, frontotemporal dementia, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Surprisingly, the protein shortage ...
