What if a single hormone could control appetite in two entirely different ways? Professor Stefan Trapp of University College London reveals how GLP-1’s dual role in the brain and gut could transform obesity treatment.
A new study from the University of Barcelona’s Institute of Neurosciences has discovered a crucial role for the RTP801 protein in astrocytes, potentially making way for future therapies aimed at slowing or reversing cognitive decline.
Disrupting F-actin in aged brains restored brain autophagy to youthful levels and reversed some cellular markers of brain ageing.
UBneuro scientists discovered that reducing RTP801 expression prevented cognitive deficits and inflammation.
Findings show that alpha-synuclein and an immune response are required for Lewy body formation, in an effect specific to dopaminergic neurons.
Researchers show that proteins released from the brain during migraine with aura are transported by CSF to pain-signalling nerves.
A new neural network computational model has been developed, which more closely reflects the abilities of real neurons and could advance AI progress.
Culture conditions during embryoid body formation can be enhanced to gain glia-associated proteins and neural network activity.
The discovery that CNTN4 and APP have a co-dependent relationship has wider implications for neurodevelopmental disorder understanding.
A synthetic antibody selectively activates the Wnt signalling pathway and directs stem cells to differentiate into neurons.
Using cortical organoids, researchers discovered that targeting KCNJ2 could reduce nerve cell death after TBI.
New findings show that age-related MC4R+ cilia shortening causes middle-aged obesity and leptin resistance, which could lead to obesity treatment.
Dr Amber Van Laar shares her remarkable journey in STEM. From a childhood fascination with science and medicine to a pivotal role as VP Clinical Development, AskBio. In this interview, she explores the profound impact of her early exposure to neuro-oncology, the challenges faced as a physician-scientist, and the pursuit…
Researchers have identified that AF1q is highly expressed in neuroblastoma, and could be used to destabilise N-Myc.
Researchers discovered that NPTX2 protein accumulated in cells containing abnormal TDP-43 in FTD and ALS patients.
