'Neurosteroid' Found to Prevent Brain Injury Caused by HIV/AIDS
January 31, 2013 — Scientists found that DHEA-S may prevent neurocognitive impairment affecting a significant percentage of AIDS patients. A new report describes how a network of steroid molecules in the brain, termed ... > full story -
Metabolite Damage-Control: How Our Cells Cope With Toxic Small Molecules
January 30, 2013 — Scientists have reviewed an important, but so far neglected, part of metabolism, namely metabolite damage-control. Researchers now present a comprehensive overview of the known reactions generating ... > full story -
Excessive Alcohol Use When You’re Young Could Have Lasting Impacts on Your Brain
January 30, 2013 — There is growing evidence for the lasting impact of alcohol on the brain. Excessive alcohol use accounts for 4% of the global burden of disease, and binge drinking particularly is becoming an ... > full story -
Better Way to Culture Central Nervous Cells
January 29, 2013 — A protein associated with neuron damage in Alzheimer's patients provides a superior scaffold for growing central nervous system cells in the lab. The findings could have clinical implications for ... > full story -
A Step Towards Repairing the Central Nervous System
January 29, 2013 — Despite recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of nerve injury, tissue-engineering solutions for repairing damage in the central nervous system (CNS) remain elusive, owing to the crucial and ... > full story -
Glial Cells Assist in the Repair of Injured Nerves
January 28, 2013 — Unlike the brain and spinal cord, the peripheral nervous system has an astonishing capacity for regeneration following injury. Researchers have discovered that, following nerve damage, peripheral ... > full story -
Stem Cells Aid Recovery from Stroke, Study Suggests
January 27, 2013 — Stem cells from bone marrow or fat improve recovery after stroke in rats, finds a new study. Treatment with stem cells improved the amount of brain and nerve repair and the ability of the animals to ... > full story -
A Scanner for Hereditary Defects: New Possibilities in Genetic Damage Recognition for Improving Cancer Treatment
January 24, 2013 — Our DNA is constantly under attack from UV light, toxins and metabolic processes. Proteins and enzymes continually repair the damaged DNA. Unrecognized and therefore unrepaired damage to the genetic ... > full story -
Oxygen Chamber Can Boost Brain Repair Years After Stroke or Trauma
January 23, 2013 — Through the use of hyperbaric, oxygen-rich chambers, medical researchers have found a way to restore a significant amount of neurological function in brain tissue thought to be chronically damaged by ... > full story -
Brain Protein Called Vimentin Can Indicate Damage to the Hippocampus Following Binge Drinking
January 22, 2013 — Binge drinking is known to increase the risk of developing dementia and/or brain damage. A new study used rodents to test markers of neurodegeneration to determine a threshold for brain damage. The ... > full story
