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

When mice exercise, their livers release GPLD1 into the bloodstream. The enzyme travels to the blood vessels surrounding the brain and removes TNAP from the surface of those cells. By trimming away ...

VIB and Ghent University researchers have identified and characterized a previously unknown cellular barrier in the brain, ...

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

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 ...

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

Rutgers researchers are launching a clinical trial to explore whether alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)-enriched nutrition can improve memory and brain health in older adults with mild cognitive impairment ...

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

The sugar substitute appears in numerous "sugar-free" products.

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is meant to protect the brain from noxious agents; however, it also significantly hinders the delivery of therapeutics to the brain. Several strategies have been employed ...

Microplastics have been found in our lungs, guts, and even our blood. Now, researchers say they may reduce protective enzymes and proteins that keep neurons strong. Stacey Leasca is an award-winning ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have discovered a mechanism that could explain how exercise improves cognition by shoring up ...
