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

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 ...

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

Researchers have identified a specific liver protein produced during exercise that strengthens the brain’s protective barrier and improves memory in aging mice. This finding suggests a potential ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers show that in mice, tumor-secreted cystatin-C crosses the blood–brain barrier and stimulates microglia to degrade ...

Found in everything from protein bars to energy drinks, erythritol has long been considered a safe alternative to sugar.

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 ...
