Researchers at UC San Francisco have identified a biological process that may explain why exercise sharpens thinking and ...

A UCSF team finds a liver protein, released with exercise, that improves memory in aging and Alzheimer’s disease by repairing ...

A new study shows exercise releases a liver enzyme that repairs aging brain blood vessels and restores memory in mice.

An explosion does not need to strike the head to injure the brain. When a blast occurs, it generates a sudden pressure wave ...

Exercise may sharpen the mind by repairing the brain’s protective shield. Researchers found that physical activity prompts the liver to release an enzyme that removes a harmful protein causing the ...
