In older mice treated by the researchers, the blood-brain barrier was restored – shown by the pink dye not spreading much into the higher areas of the image. (Villeda Lab) Among its numerous health ...

A UCSF team finds a liver protein, released with exercise, that improves memory in aging and Alzheimer’s disease by repairing the brain’s blood vessels. It's the missing link between exercise and ...

Exercise may sharpen the mind by repairing the brain’s protective shield. Researchers found that physical activity prompts the liver to release an enzyme that removes a harmful protein causing the ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have identified a biological process that may explain why exercise sharpens thinking and ...

Scientists at MIMETAS have published a new study describing a scalable, self-assembling human blood-brain barrier (BBB) model that combines physiological relevance with high-throughput capability. The ...

A series of recent studies has pinpointed the specific molecules and biological pathways through which physical activity protects the brain from aging, disease, and toxic protein buildup. Researchers ...

A protein reinforces the blood–brain barrier, which becomes leaky with age. Exercise prevents brain ageing and memory loss by strengthening the blood–brain barrier, the structure that keeps harmful ...

Focused ultrasound combined with microbubbles is increasingly being used to safely and reversibly open the blood-brain barrier (BBB) for the treatment of brain tumors and neurodegenerative disorders.

When mice exercise, their livers release GPLD1 into the bloodstream. The enzyme travels to the blood vessels surrounding the brain and removes TNAP from the surface of those cells. By trimming away ...

A researcher at the University of Missouri has made a promising breakthrough in the quest to help people with amyotrophic ...

Researchers develop 4e, a psilocin derivative that provides sustained serotonin activity without the hallucinogenic effects of magic mushrooms.

Post-COVID “brain fog” could be caused by leaky blood vessels in the brain, a groundbreaking new study out of Ireland has determined. Researchers from Trinity College Dublin recruited 32 patients who ...
