In contrast, gaining weight in later years did not appear to affect longevity. Monica Hussain, a clinical epidemiologist and the study’s lead author, conducted research that shed light on this important […]
Imagine the process of cleaning up a messy room. Now picture this scenario on a microscopic scale, where tiny proteins called α-synuclein accumulate and cause havoc in the brain cells of individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Researchers have proposed a mathematical model to understand how these aggregated α-synuclein proteins are degraded by a cellular pathway […]
Just like how a sunscreen protects your skin from harmful UV rays, cromolyn has been found to prevent cerebral vasospasm and the resulting dementia in older individuals.
