Just as a regular exercise routine keeps our muscles strong and healthy, aerobic exercise works wonders for our brain health! Recent studies have shown that aerobic exercise is a powerful tool in preventing and treating mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which is a precursor to dementia. Think of it like this: just as exercise helps regulate […]
Just like the buzzing of a busy beehive, the degeneration of axons and their terminals is a process that occurs from various triggers. Whether it’s caused by trauma, toxins, or genetics, there are common molecular mechanisms at play. Scientists have turned to Drosophila models to understand this phenomenon better and uncover the pathways of nerve […]
As we age, our mitochondria become less efficient at producing energy, which directly affects the availability of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the molecule that provides energy for cellular functions. In a preliminary study, scientists used a technique called phosphorous magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P MRS) to measure ATP levels in the frontal and posterior regions of the […]
