Perhaps no topic is hotter in Alzheimer disease molecular research today than the synaptic effects of amyloid-β (Aβ) oligomers. These toxic assemblies disrupt synaptic function, and are leading ...

Mutations in presenilin associated with familial Alzheimer disease perturb calcium signaling in cells. In particular, some mutations suppress capacitative calcium entry (CCE), the mechanism for ...

Professor Suh Byung-chang's research team of the Department of Brain Sciences, DGIST (President: Kuk Yang), announced on Wednesday, November 23 that they have identified the molecular mechanism for ...

High-speed pumps: Cells use high-speed pumps to pump calcium ions out of their interior. A team has created the first comprehensive transport model of plasma membrane CaATPase (PMCA) to study calcium ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

A study conducted by National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS) researchers has revealed how lithium acts on brain cells to change neural activity. This finding, according to NCBS, could offer a ...

The first comprehensive transport model of a plasma membrane calcium pump explains its high speed and opens up new avenues for drug development 'Drink your milk and you will have strong bones and ...
