A new study from Van Andel Institute scientists offers a first look into the complex molecular changes that occur in brain cells with Lewy bodies, which are key pathological hallmarks of Parkinson’s disease and some dementias.

In a new study, researchers have identified a novel mechanism potentially connected to the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. They found a fragment of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) disrupts communication between cellular compartments.

Researchers have linked a region in the brain to how humans redirect thoughts and attention when distracted, offering insights into side effects of Parkinson's disease treatment.

An international team of scientists has published the first single-cell atlas forPristina leidyi (Pristina), a segmented annelid with extraordinary regenerative abilities that has fascinated biologists for more than a century.

New research has identified that gentrified parts of a city have notably more urban wildlife than ungentrified parts of the same city.

In a new study, researchers used adaptive optics to identify rare retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) that could help fill in the gaps in existing theories of color perception.

Machine learning (ML) enables the accurate and efficient computation of fundamental electronic properties of binary and ternary oxide surfaces. Their ML-based model could be extended to other compounds and properties.

3D-printed films loaded with drugs could be used to kill cancer cells while minimizing the toxicity of traditional chemotherapy.

Contrary to past warnings, a new study has found that a commonly prescribed dementia drug doesn't increase the risk of death or heart rhythm problems.

A drug used to treat children with epilepsy prevents brain tumor formation and growth in two mouse models of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), according to a study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
