A new study suggests that intensive physical exercise could slow down the course of Parkinson's disease and has also explored underlying biological mechanisms.

Two pathologies drive the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Around the time symptoms emerge, tau tangles take over as the driving force, and cognition steadily declines. There has been no easy way to measure tau tangles in the brain. Now, researchers have identified a form of tau that could serve as a marker to track Alzheimer’s progression.<br /><br />

A new "housekeeping" process has been discovered in kidney cells, which ejects unwanted content and enables cells to rejuvenate themselves.

A new AI tool has been developed to count brain lesions that would otherwise be "tremendously difficult" to quantify, which could help clinicians evaluate brain disease at earlier stages.

A promising target has been identified in cancer cells that could be used in combination with standard care to prevent acquired treatment resistance in metastatic breast cancer.

According to research, quality sleep can help bolster resilience to depression and anxiety.<br /><br />

Researchers have discovered a way to identify pregnant women who are at risk of preeclampsia, a disorder characterized by high blood pressure and kidney dysfunction which can result in premature delivery, seizures and even death.

Researchers have examined if adding the tropical alga <i>Asparagopsis taxiformis</i>, also known as red sea plume, to cow feces impacts greenhouse gas emissions from the manure of dairy cows.

The family, wing length and wing colour of tropical butterflies all influence their ability to withstand rising temperatures, according to a new study. Researchers believe this could help identify species whose survival is under threat from climate change.

Researchers have honed in on how the blood–brain barrier is formed during embryonic development and how it is maintained throughout adulthood.
