A study reveals how seasonal brain shrinking helps some mammals survive winter, offering new insights into brain plasticity ...
“Microplastics actually weaken the blood-brain barrier, making it leaky. “Once that happens, immune cells and inflammatory molecules are activated, which then causes even more damage to the barrier’s ...
Tiny pieces of plastic might be aging us from the inside out. A new scientific review published in Food and Chemical Toxicology suggests that microplastics and nanoplastics may accelerate aging at the ...
“Exosomes are natural communicators that the brain recognizes and allows through its protective barrier,” Lu explains. “We are engineering these exosomes to act like Ubers. They can pick up the ...
Patients with the deadliest form of brain cancer, glioblastoma, who received MRI-guided focused ultrasound with standard-of-care chemotherapy had a nearly 40% increase in overall survival in a ...
Twenty-four brain samples collected in early 2024 measured on average about 0.5% plastic by weight ...
Microplastics have been found in our lungs, guts, and even our blood. Now, researchers say they may reduce protective enzymes and proteins that keep neurons strong. Stacey Leasca is an award-winning ...
