Could a Novel Sleeping Pill Prevent or Delay Alzheimer’s?
Alzheimer’s disease begins when plaques of the protein amyloid beta build up in the brain. After years of amyloid accumulation, a second brain protein, tau, begins to form tangles that are toxic to neurons. People with Alzheimer’s begin to experience cognitive symptoms, such as memory loss, around the time tau involvement is detectable. The brain […]

Generation of New Neurons in the Brain As a Strategy Against Neurodegenerative Diseases
Some areas of the adult brain contain dormant or dormant neural stem cells that can potentially be reactivated to form new neurons. However, the transition from quiescence to proliferation is still poorly understood. A team led by scientists from the Universities of Geneva (UNIGE) and Lausanne (UNIL) has discovered the importance of cellular metabolism in […]
