Now, scientists at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University show that pharmacological chaperones, molecular machines that repair or remove defective proteins, could fill a critical role in Alzheimer’s disease therapy.

A group of University of Chicago scientists has uncovered a previously unknown way that our genes are made into reality.

A new review has profiled the evidence that the body-wide effects of traumatic brain injury, impacting everything from sleep to cognition and body mass, could be ameliorated with growth hormone treatment.
