Getting older is one of the biggest risks for these progressive diseases that degrade functions of the brain, the spine and ...

Scientists have identified a conserved aging-related protein, EPS8, that promotes toxic protein aggregation linked to neurodegenerative diseases.

Attention has turned to progressive supranuclear palsy, a rare neurodegenerative disorder. Here's what it is and why it's ...

Misplaced car keys, forgotten names and other lapses in memory are a normal part of life, especially as you age. However, more serious memory problems can be a sign of cognitive impairment or dementia ...

After treatment, the mice’s memories were essentially shunted back into a younger state. The researchers found that reprogrammed engrams displayed molecular behavior of more youthful cells. Using a ...

WASHINGTON, DC — Age-related neurodegenerative disorders — motor neuron diseases, demyelinating diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, and other proteinopathies — are at an “inflection point,” said researcher ...

Researchers are testing a fundamentally different strategy against neurodegenerative disease: instead of clearing protein deposits after they form, new experimental therapies aim to stop toxic protein ...

Origami is collaborating with Ipsen to develop molecules designed to remove or correct abnormal proteins in neurodegenerative diseases.
