A common heart drug may slow the progression of Huntington’s disease (HD), according to a new study by University of Iowa Health Care researchers. Using clinical information from a large,
Ketone bodies, produced by the body to provide fuel during fasting, have roles in regulating cellular processes and aging mechanisms beyond energy production. Research at the Buck Institute shows that
A decade ago, researchers introduced a new model for studying Alzheimer’s disease. Known as “Alzheimer’s in a dish,” the model uses cultures of mature brain cells suspended in a gel
Researchers from Professor Vijay Tiwari’s research group at the Department of Molecular Medicine, University of Southern Denmark, have developed a new method called MoPEDE, which has the potential to improve
Subtle signs of Alzheimer’s disease can emerge decades before a diagnosis — often in the form of irregular behaviors that reflect very early stages of brain dysfunction. But until now,
