When scientists transplanted the gut microbes of aged mice into young 'germ-free' mice -- raised to have no gut microbes of their own -- the recipient mice experienced an increase in inflammation that parallels inflammatory processes associated with ...
A research team using a fruit fly model has discovered that even very mild, non-lethal head injuries early in life can lead to neurodegenerative conditions later in life upon ...
A searchable database is now ready to help study Alzheimer's disease. Neuroscience and biomedical informatics researchers have created the comprehensive, user-friendly ...
