• New light shed on early stage Alzheimer's disease
  

  The disrupted metabolism of sugar, fat and calcium is part of the process that causes the death of neurons in Alzheimer's disease. Researchers from Karolinska Institutet have now shown, for the first time, how important parts of the nerve cell that are involved in the cell's energy metabolism operat more

• Cold-blooded research has hearts thumping
  

  The protective effect of inducing controlled hypothermia following sudden cardiac arrest will now be investigated in detail. The goal of the scientific work is to judge whether this type of cryotherapy can be improved when using parallel simultaneous invasive resuscitation procedures. Establishing a more

• How Alzheimer’s could occur
  

  A new hypothesis has been developed by researchers in Bochum on how Alzheimer’s disease could occur. They analysed the interaction of the proteins FE65 and BLM that regulate cell division. In the cell culture model, they discovered spherical structures in the nucleus that contained FE65 and BLM. The more

• Sniffing Out the Secrets of Social Behavior
  

  In his novel "Perfume - the Story of a Murderer", Patrick Süskind managed to put the power of odors into words better than anyone before him. It may be a fascinating idea, but no one will ever be able to create the perfect fragrance that makes a person irresistibly attractive. In the animal world, on the other hand, olfactory signals are an essential element of social communication. Yet we are only just beginning to understand the complexities and functional differences of the sense of smell in mammals. Professor Marc Spehr is leading the Department of Chemosensation at RWTH Aachen University since 2009, where he is conducting research on the neuronal mechanisms of olfactory perception and signal processing using the mouse model. In his experiments, he and his team are trying to find out how substances for social interaction are perceived and how this perception generates a specific type of behavior more

• Electrospun Aligned PHBV/Collagen Nanofibers as Substrates for Nerve Tissue Engineering

  Abstract Nerve regeneration following the injury of nerve tissue remains a major issue in the therapeutic medical field. Various bio‐mimetic strategies are employed to direct the nerve growth in vitro, among which the chemical and topographical cues elicited by the scaffolds are crucial paramet more

• Neuroprotective Role of Nanoencapsulated Quercetin in Combating Ischemia-Reperfusion Induced Neuronal Damage in Young and Aged Rats

  by Aparajita Ghosh, Sibani Sarkar, Ardhendu K. Mandal, Nirmalendu Das Cerebral stroke is the leading cause of death and permanent disability among elderly people. In both humans and animals, cerebral ischemia damages the nerve cells in vulnerable regions of the brain, viz., hippocampus, cerebral more

• New nerve regeneration strategy combining laminin-coated chitosan conduits and stem cell therapy

  May 2013 Publication year: 2013Source:Acta Biomaterialia, Volume 9, Issue 5 Nerve regeneration remains a difficult challenge due to the lack of safe and efficient matrix support. We designed a laminin (LN)-modified chitosan multi-walled nerve conduit combined with bone marrow stem cell more
