A new study suggests that damage to the brain's white matter can trigger features often associated with neurodegenerative diseases, such as inflammation in the grey matter.
Researchers have identified a new process, 'chronoferroptosis', where excess iron in neurons reduces their resilience to stress, increasing vulnerability to neurodegenerative diseases. This discovery highlights iron accumulation as a critical target for predicting, preventing, and treating conditions like Alzheimer's.
A US study has revealed three trajectories of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease -- stable, slow decline, and fast decline -- based on scans of over 1,100 people with elevated amyloid protein levels.
A new study suggests that physical activity can trigger the movement of cerebrospinal fluid, aiding in the removal of waste from the brain and potentially reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
A new blood test analysing the folding of amino acids, rather than their amounts, shows promise in detecting the earliest biological signs of Alzheimer's disease, according to a recent study.
A new study reveals that a copper-containing compound, Cu(ATSM), can repair vital waste-clearing pumps in the brain, significantly reducing toxic amyloid-beta proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease and improving long-term spatial memory in mouse models. This discovery offers a promising new therapeutic avenue for neurovascular dysfunction in Alzheimer's.
A new study reveals that obesity-related changes in body fat can disrupt brain signals and immune function, potentially worsening Alzheimer's disease.
From October to Saiyaara, these Hindi love stories proved that romance still has the power to break hearts, move audiences and create box office magic in the age of violent cinema.
Half a cup of pomegranate seeds packs only 72 calories, yet brims with heart-friendly nutrients and is rich in antioxidant that calm inflammation.
Around 7.4 per cent of Indians aged 60 and above are affected by dementia. This number is expected to rise from the current 8.8 million to 17 million by 2036, marking a 97 per cent increase.
The first findings of the study, released in June, established that former footballers were 3.46 times more likely to have neurodegenerative diseases.
Verbally is an assisted speech solution for the iPad. Its design allows users to communicate quickly and effectively in any setting.
A good night's sleep is critical as the brain consolidates information learnt during the day with previous knowledge before filing it for long-term storage.
The finding may help in curing neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer.
Don't ignore symptoms like coughing, wheezing or shortness of breath, warns Dr Sandeep Tilve.
Satya Nadella was drenched with a bucket of ice water on his head as part of a challenge he took to raise awareness about a neurodegenerative disease and in turn challenged Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Google co-founder Larry Page to do the same.
"He was my teacher, and I knew him from a time when he could speak. Personally it's a huge loss. Hawking is special because he is larger than life," Raychaudhury said.
One of the most brilliant theoretical physicists since Einstein passes into worlds beyond our understanding.
The researchers noted that while COVID-19 and influenza are both severe respiratory viruses, they appeared to affect cardiac tissue very differently.
Moderate drinking has been associated with a lower risk of developing and dying from heart disease and stroke.
'We are not yet out of the woods.' 'If India sees the South African or Brazilian type of mutations, our numbers will rapidly rise.'
A round up of all the health news from around the world.
An unhealthy diet combined with inadequate sleep can affect the way your brain cells function, warns Vipul Jain.
