New step in DNA damage response in neurons discovered
Researchers have identified a biochemical switch required for nerve cells to respond to DNA damage. view more (2009-01-20)
Gene therapy slows progression of fatal neurodegenerative disease in children
Gene therapy to replace the faulty CLN2 gene, which causes a neurodegenerative disease that is fatal by age 8-12 years, was able to slow significantly the rate of neurologic decline in treated children. view more (2008-05-14)
New research points toward mechanism of age-onset toxicity of Alzheimer's protein
Like most neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer's disease usually appears late in life, raising the question of whether it is a disastrous consequence of aging or if the toxic protein aggregates that cause the disease simply take a long time to form. view more (2006-08-11)
A research work carried out in mice will contribute to the study of hereditary diseases that lead to blindness
Noticias UGR Researchers of the University of Granada (Spain) have used a technique consisting of the induction of neuronal degeneration neuronal for intense light exposure in the mouse's retina that will be helpful for the study of retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a group of hereditary diseases which lead to blindness and affect more than one million... view more...

New study of gene evolution could lead to better understanding of neurodegenerative disease
Genetic evolution is strongly shaped by genes' efforts to prevent or tolerate errors in the production of proteins, scientists at The University of Texas at Austin and Harvard University have found. view more (2008-07-25)
Cell's split personality is a major discovery into neurological diseases
Researchers at the Université de Montreal (UdeM) and the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI), McGill University have discovered that cells which normally support nerve cell (neuron) survival also play an active and major role in the death of neurons in the eye. view more (2009-05-08)
Scientists show how thinking can harm brain cells
Scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center have targeted a new culprit and method of attack on neurologic functions in diseases such as Alzheimer's and dementia associated with HIV. view more (2005-11-04)
Alzheimer cell death in Zebrafish: Demise of neurons observed live for the first time
Extensive death of nerve cells leads to severe dementia in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Until now, it has only been possible to investigate the neuronal devastation in post mortem animal models, and by using complicated methods. view more (2009-04-15)
Untangling a pathology of Alzheimer's
Researchers have uncovered what appears to be a natural protective mechanism against a central cause of neuronal death in Alzheimer's and similar neurodegenerative diseases. view more (2006-09-07)
A glimmer of hope in the struggle against neurodegenerative diseases: the virtues of proteins that can save dying neurons
Diseases characterized by neurodegeneration affect individuals over 50 years of age and they attack one particular class of neurons in the brain or spinal cord. The research interest of Professor Ann Kato and her team is principally focalized on ALS in which there is a progressive paralysis caused by the destruction of motor neurons which exist in... view more...

Vitamin D deficiency may be more common in Parkinson's disease patients
Individuals with Parkinson's disease appear more likely to be vitamin D deficient than healthy adults of the same age or patients with Alzheimer's disease, according to a report in the October issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-10-14)
August 10, 2009 New Class of Compounds Discovered for Potential Alzheimer's Disease Drug, Penn Study Finds
A new class of molecules capable of blocking the formation of specific protein clumps that are believed to contribute to the dementia of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients has been discovered by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. view more (2009-08-11)
Researchers discover stem cell 'guide' that may be key for targeting neural stem cell treatments
UC Irvine School of Medicine researchers have discovered how new neurons born from endogenous neural stem cells are sent to regions of the brain where they can replace old and dying cells, a finding that suggests how stem cell therapies can be specifically targeted to brain regions affected by neurodegenerative diseases or by stroke. view more (2005-06-24)
Mayo Clinic: Brain disorder suggests common mechanism may underlie many neurodegenerative diseases
A Mayo Clinic-led international consortium has found a mechanism that may help explain Parkinson's and other neurological disorders. view more (2009-01-12)
Scientists remove amyloid plaques from brains of live animals with Alzheimer's disease
A breakthrough discovery by scientists from the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL, may lead to a new treatment for Alzheimer's Disease that actually removes amyloid plaques-considered a hallmark of the disease-from patients' brains. view more (2009-10-15)
U of T led research team uncovers evolutionary origins of prion disease gene
A University of Toronto-led team has uncovered the evolutionary ancestry of the prion gene, which may reveal new understandings of how the prion protein causes diseases such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), also known as "mad cow disease." view more (2009-09-29)
'Sticky' mice lead to discovery of new cause of neurodegenerative disease
When a faulty protein wreaks havoc in cells and causes disease, researchers are usually quick to point the finger at a wayward gene. Now scientists are learning that some neurodegenerative diseases can develop even though a gene is perfectly normal. view more (2006-08-14)
Shape Matters: NC State Scientists Characterize Structure of Protein Involved in Preventing Alzheimer's, Huntington's Diseases
Scientists at North Carolina State University have effectively lifted the veil from an important protein that is linked to the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Huntington's. view more (2006-07-26)
Receptor critical in neurodegeneration reduces Alzheimer's plaque
Increasing the level of a protein that plays a key role in traumatic spinal cord injuries and multiple sclerosis reduces the concentration of disease-causing plaque in Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-02-03)
Study ties 'new' cell-death mechanism to developmental and degenerative brain disorders
An international research team has provided the first conclusive evidence that neurodevelopmental disorders such as mental retardation and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and ataxias can be caused, at least in part, by specific gene defects that interfere with the electrical impulses of rapid-firing... view more...
