known as lipid peroxidation, compared to amounts in Alzheimer's-only or control brains. Weakened antioxidant defense systems: The team found that the activity of several key enzymes that protect the ...

Experts claim that the active ingredient in one common flavouring has numerous health qualities – and it makes for a tasty drink too ...

GSE up to 3 h after reoxygenation reduces brain injury in rat pups, probably by suppressing lipid peroxidation and the proapoptotic protein c-jun.

This iron buildup is harmful because it triggers oxidative stress, a process that damages cells by producing toxic molecules.

Volume 17, Issue 6, was published on June 4, 2025, titled “DoliClock: a lipid-based aging clock reveals accelerated aging in ...

“We think we may have identified a plausible molecular mechanism for lipofuscin in the brain 180 years after its discovery,” said Di Paolo. “If you think about the fact that lipofuscin is lysosomal ...

A lipid metabolism enzyme controls brain stem cell activity and lifelong brain development. If the enzyme does not work correctly, it causes learning and memory deficits in humans and mice, as ...

To get therapies into the brain after a stroke, researchers are increasingly making use of the blood-brain barrier, which allows only certain molecules to pass from the blood into the brain. In a ...

A groundbreaking study reveals that neurons can burn fat, challenging the long-held belief that the brain relies solely on glucose for fuel.

In turn, these senescent glia perturbed lipid metabolism in neighboring, healthy glia, which then accumulated lipid droplets. These oily droplets came with pros and cons. When the authors blocked ...

The Mt. Sinai study could open the door to future therapies for Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, brain cancer, and drug addiction.
