neurodegenerative diseases

New Genetic Risk Factors for Dementia Discovered by NIH Scientists

University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers have developed a groundbreaking new diagnostic technique that will allow for faster and more accurate detection of neurodegenerative diseases that affect humans, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, and similar diseases that affect animals, such as chronic wasting disease (CWD) and mad cow disease.

Faster, More Accurate Tests for Neurodegenerative Diseases in Nano-QuIC

A super-powerful MRI merged with light-sheet microscopy allows researchers to create a high-definition wiring diagram of the entire brain in mice.

Brain images just got 64 million times sharper

Don Cleveland, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Medicine, Neurosciences and Cellular and Molecular Medicine at UC San Diego School of Medicine, is among the most highly cited researchers in the world for his work investigating neurodegenerative diseases.

DNA treatment could delay paralysis that strikes nearly all patients with ALS

Researchers link supplement to reduced Alzheimer’s biomarkers in brain

Fluorescent images of human neurons (stained with red, green and blue) growing on coatings with fast-moving molecules (left) or conventional laminin (right) for 60 days. Neurons spread homogenously and showed more complex branching on the highly mobile coating developed at Northwestern.

Lab-grown neurons hold promise for neurodegenerative disease

The illustration shows the cell types and brain regions affected by six different neurodegenerative diseases: Friedreich's ataxia (purple); Huntington's disease (blue); frontotemporal dementia (yellow); amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neuron disease (MND) or Lou Gehrig's disease (green); Parkinson's disease (orange); and Alzheimer's disease (pink).

Common features among neurodegenerative diseases, opening door to early diagnosis and treatment

From the left, Professor Taejoon Kwon, Hwapyeong Cho, Kujin Kwon, and Professor Hyung Joon Cho in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at UNIST, took group photo with the background of MRI equipment used in the study.
