When a neuron ages, it loses synaptic connections with other neurons, it is less able to transmit nerve impulses, and its metabolism is also altered. This process of neuronal ageing — inevitable with ...

A new machine-learning-based approach to mapping real-time tumor metabolism in brain cancer patients, developed at the ...

This is due to epigenetic components: microRNA, histone and DNA methylation, gene mutations that alter the expression and production of the neurotrophic factor BDNF, which interacts with the receptors ...

A drug that restores brain metabolism in mouse models of Alzheimer's also improved cognitive function. The discovery could help researchers find additional pathways to combating the symptoms of this ...

A new technology that uses clinical MRI machines to image metabolic activity in the brain could give researchers and clinicians unique insight into brain function and disease, researchers at the ...

Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have identified a new way to reprogram T cells, ...

Tumor growth unfolds within a tumor microenvironment (TME) defined by metabolic–immune crosstalk. Emerging evidence indicates that cancer cells not only reprogram glycolysis but also alter amino acid, ...

Taking care of oneself requires a multi-faceted approach: brain, heart, and metabolic health. What research in 2024 has shown us is that improving our health in these areas comes down to three main ...
