It may be possible to identify the presence of an aggressive brain tumor in children by studying their cerebrospinal fluid, according to new research led by Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center ...
Alzheimer's disease affects millions worldwide—but confirming a diagnosis is far from simple. Doctors currently rely on costly brain scans or invasive spinal fluid tests to identify the ...
A new international study has demonstrated that Alzheimer's disease biomarkers can be accurately detected using simple finger ...
In their efforts to pick up the disease as early as possible, scientists are searching far and wide through the human body for tell tale signs of Alzheimer’s. A team from the Washington University ...
A team of researchers led by Rice University's Jacob Robinson and the University of Texas Medical Branch's Peter Kan has developed a technique for diagnosing, managing and treating neurological ...
Researchers identified a protein in the fluid that could boost the cognition of aging animals — and might lead to future treatments for people. By Benjamin Mueller Five years ago, Tal Iram, a young ...
This is an important study on the sensory roles of Cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons (CBF-cn) in mammals. The authors identify PKD2L1 as the predominant pH-sensing channel CBF-cn and show how the ...
It was a shot in the dark — or at best, a dimly lit room: injecting a mouse with a little bit of spinal cord fluid from someone with the most common form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. Then ...
SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – Scientists searching for ways to treat COVID long haulers have just made a discovery about those with brain fog. Many people with cognitive symptoms have abnormalities in their ...
Irregular fluid flow through the spinal column brought on by gene mutations is linked to a type of scoliosis that can affect humans during adolescence, a new study in zebrafish suggests. Also found in ...
A team at Stanford University has demonstrated a new approach to reversing memory loss — in mice. An infusion of spinal fluid from young mice reversed the memory loss typically seen in aging animals, ...
The memory of aging mice improved when they received a substance found in the spinal fluid of young animals and young people. The finding suggests a new approach to treating Alzheimer's disease. Next ...
