By analyzing brain activity in mice, they determined that a fat molecule called PIP2 acts as a brake on Piezo1. When brain ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3. The brain-immune-vascular interface has now been recognized as a fundamental component of brain physiology and in diseases. Vascular ...

Scientists have found that adding a missing phospholipid back into the bloodstream might help improve blood flow and reduce ...

Defects in the blood vessel network of the central nervous system have been linked to early symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

“Both the early developing brain, and brain tumours and brain vascular malformations, feature blood vessel growth and immunosuppression which allow for undisturbed tissue growth. If we can dampen or ...

As individuals age, the vascular system in the brain often undergoes changes that can reduce the efficiency of blood flow. This reduction in cerebral blood flow is a known physiological marker ...

A Boston Children's Hospital study uncovers how fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could be a game-changer in predicting outcomes for infants born with vein of Galen malformations (VOGMs). An ...

As an extension of the central nervous system, the eyes share an anatomical connection with the brain that is key to an animal’s ability to see. Besides the visual connection, both the brain and the ...

Everywhere you look, there is a great deal of fear about the possibility of developing dementia as you get older. A new study shows how to keep the fear from becoming a reality.

Scientists have restored the brain's waste-clearing process in aging mice, offering potential new treatment for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's using existing drugs. Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other ...
