"...there's hope that through targeted play we will be able not only to delay but also weaken the symptoms of dementia."

"If we can develop more ways to identify lung cancer earlier, that may open the door for treatments that greatly improve the survival rate."

Adaptable neurons are tied to learning and memory but also to neurological disorders. By studying fruit flies, researchers found a mechanism that controls neuroplasticity.

Nanodiamonds aren't just cellular bling: they could be used to better understand the development of cancer in our cells.

Researchers have used a genetic engineering strategy to dramatically reduce levels of tau — a key protein that accumulates and becomes tangled in the brain during the development of Alzheimer’s disease — in an animal model of the condition.

Because dementia patients are more likely to acquire COVID-19, and because so many live in close-quarter facilities – like nursing homes – it's critical to vaccinate them as quickly as possible.

A new study in mice shows how aging affects stem cells in the brain, as well as how to reactivate the production of neurons.

A team of researchers has developed an artificial intelligence-based method to screen currently available medications as possible treatments for Alzheimer’s disease. The method could represent a rapid and inexpensive way to repurpose existing therapies.

A new study with mice offers a promising way to potentially restore cognitive function loss due to Alzheimer's disease, researchers report.
