Rejuvenating the brain's lymphatic vessels can enhance memory in aging mice by improving the removal of waste products from ...

Aging compromises the lymphatic vessels surrounding the brain, disabling waste drainage from the brain and impacting cognitive function. Researchers boosted lymphatic vessel integrity in old mice and ...

Aging brains may struggle to clear out waste, contributing to memory loss and diseases like Alzheimer’s. But researchers have now found that improving the brain’s waste-draining vessels in old mice ...

In a study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain.

The world is ageing quickly. People older than 64 years already outnumber children younger than five, and this asymmetry will continue to widen. As life expectancy increases and fertility rates ...

Another SCFA, butyrate, and the microbes that produce it are also important for forming the barrier between the brain and the blood, which is called the blood-brain barrier. Gut microbes also ...

The Immense Importance of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Crossing the Blood-Brain Barrier According to research undertaken by Iughetti et al. (2011), the central nervous system and the ...

A new study led by Profs. Fan Kelong and Yan Xiyun from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ...

The results surprised some experts because they suggest certain PFAS are capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB), a protective mechanism designed to shield the brain from harmful ...

Because the firm skull bone encloses the brain with very little space for blood or swelling to expand, a brain hemorrhage squeezes and compresses brain tissue – causing brain damage. If a blood ...
