In a surprising discovery, TIFR researchers have found a novel function for serotonin — generation of new mitochondria in neurons, increased cellular respiration and ATP production. The team found that…
JNCASR researchers along with French counterparts have been able to fully restore neuron to neuron connections and long-term memory in mice with Alzheimer’s disease using a small molecule that activates…
Researchers at the Institute of Life Sciences, Bhubaneswar have identified the novel mechanism by which misfolded proteins form aggregates and get degraded in the cells. They have discovered that downregulation…
Institute of Life Sciences researchers have discovered that downregulation of a protein drug target can help in the treatment of cancers, while activation can do the same for neurodegerative diseases such…
IISc researchers have ascertained that decrease in F-actin protein level results in early behavioural changes that would eventually lead to Alzheimer’s disease. F-actin thus behaves as an early biomarker of Alzheimer’s.…
Researchers from the Department of Biochemistry at the Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University (BHU) are a step closer to preventing Alzheimer’s disease. An effective antidote against amyloid beta…
The effects of air pollution on human health has gone up by a few notches with the discovery of large number of rounded magnetite nanoparticles of about 18 nanometres in…
In a breakthrough, researchers from the University of Delhi found that the progression of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases can be suppressed or stopped by downregulating the expression level of d-myc…
