Stronger acid response in epileptic mice — ScienceDaily
Researchers at Tohoku University have shown that astrocytes — star-shaped glial cells that control the local ionic and metabotropic environment of the brain — exhibit an acid response with REM…
Supplementation with amino acid serine eases neuropathy in diabetic mice — ScienceDaily
Approximately half of people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes experience peripheral neuropathy — weakness, numbness, and pain, primarily in the hands and feet. The condition occurs when high…
New nanoparticles deliver therapy brain-wide, edit Alzheimer’s gene in mice — ScienceDaily
Gene therapies have the potential to treat neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, but they face a common barrier — the blood-brain barrier. Now, researchers at the University of…
Building blocks of blood vessels found to be associated with inflammation and disease processes in male mice — ScienceDaily
A newly published study from York University sheds light on the biological underpinnings in sex differences in obesity-related disease, with researchers observing “striking” differences in the cells that build blood…
Muscle wasting severity linked to type, size and location of tumor in mice — ScienceDaily
About 80% of people with cancer suffer from significant muscle wasting, or loss of muscle tissue, and 30% of these patients die from this condition. New research in mice finds…
Studies in mice suggest circuitry role for missing gene — ScienceDaily
Part of understanding the underlying causes of autism spectrum disorder relies on figuring out which cells’ signaling patterns in the brain are disrupted, and when during nervous system development the…
Clusters of genes help mice live longer — ScienceDaily
Researchers from the National Institute on Aging (NIA)-funded Interventions Testing Program recently reported the discovery of multiple candidate genes that influence longevity. The three Interventions Testing Program sites — The…
Fasting-mimicking diet reduces signs of dementia in mice — ScienceDaily
Cycles of a diet that mimics fasting appear to reduce signs of Alzheimer’s in mice genetically engineered to develop the illness, according to a new USC Leonard Davis School of…
New antibody shows therapeutic effects in mice with Alzheimer’s disease — ScienceDaily
A newly developed agonistic antibody reduced the amyloid pathology in mice with Alzheimer’s disease, signaling its promise as a potential treatment for the disease, according to a team of researchers…
