In a recent study, the Rutgers team found clearer evidence of how Alzheimer's-linked destructive proteins attack human brain cells and destroy surrounding tissue. There is no cure for Alzheimer’s, which is why Rutgers scientists are examining human brain cells in mice to identify a pivotal mechanism that could result in a potential therapy for the … Continue reading Study reveals new evidence of key mechanism of Alzheimer’s

Blocking spike in stem cell growth after brain injury may lessen memory decline, seizures
Survivors of traumatic brain injury (TBI) often suffer from debilitating, life changing symptoms like memory decline and epileptic seizures. Researchers had observed that following TBI, a stem cell-rich area of the brain provides a spike in new nerve cell growth, presumably to help replace damaged or destroyed brain cells. But, like a lot of things … Continue reading Blocking spike in stem cell growth after brain injury may lessen memory decline, seizures
