Medical Xpress / Single enzyme failure found to drive neuron loss in dementia
Researchers at Helmholtz Munich, the Technical University of Munich and the LMU University Hospital Munich uncovered a mechanism that protects nerve cells from premature cell death, known as ferroptosis. The study provides ...
Phys.org / LHC data confirm validity of new model of hadron production—and test foundations of quantum mechanics
A boiling sea of quarks and gluons, including virtual ones—this is how we can imagine the main phase of high-energy proton collisions. It would seem that particles here have significantly more opportunities to evolve than ...
Medical Xpress / Switching risk and protective alleles improves Alzheimer's-disease-like signatures and disruptions in mice
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive degradation of brain cells, as well as an associated decline in memory and other mental functions. Earlier research found that different ...
