New research shows that glial cells play an important role in producing amyloid beta, a protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease. The study, undertaken by scientists at the Max Planck Institute, ...

The active genes in the body have to be copied, or transcribed into RNA molecules, which are then processed in a variety of ways before being translated into proteins. One processing mechanism ...

Engineered BiTE molecule draws T cells to eliminate FAP+ modulated smooth muscle cells, reducing plaque burden across mouse atherosclerosis models.

After studying 140,000 versions of the Aβ42 peptide, scientists identified some of the earliest molecular interactions that drive the formation of harmful amyloid protein aggregates found in Alzheimer ...

Glial cells in the brain also produce amyloid beta. Not only neurons build the protein amyloid beta (blue), which clumps together and forms harmful plaques in Alzheimer’s disease: Special glial cells ...

Dental plaque is a complex microbial biofilm, not just food debris. The shift from oral health to disease is caused by changes in the balance of plaque’s microbial community, not just the presence of ...

Maintaining oral hygiene is crucial not only for a bright smile but also for overall health. Many of us struggle with plaque buildup and gum health, which can lead to serious dental issues if not ...
