NODE SMITH, ND A stimulating environment keeps the “hippocampus” — which is the brain’s memory control center — young, so to speak. Causes of this are molecular [...]

NODE SMITH, ND Researchers have found that people who live beyond 105 years tend to have a unique genetic background that makes their bodies more efficient at repairing DNA, according to a study [...]

NODE SMITH, ND Scientists from Queen Mary University of London, funded by the charity Brain Tumor Research, have found a new way to starve cancerous brain tumor cells of energy in order to [...]

NODE SMITH, ND In the hours after we die, certain cells in the human brain are still active. Some cells even increase their activity and grow to gargantuan proportions, according to new research [...]

NODE SMITH, ND A gene therapy for chronic pain could offer a safer, non-addictive alternative to opioids. Researchers at the University of California San Diego developed the new therapy, which [...]

NODE SMITH, ND A research team led by Chunshui Yu and Mulin Jun Li of Tianjin Medical University has discovered two new genes potentially involved in Alzheimer’s disease. They identified [...]

NODE SMITH, ND How often a person takes daytime naps, if at all, is partly regulated by their genes, according to new research led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and [...]

NODE SMITH, ND Plants have the same variation in body clocks as that found in humans, according to new research that explores the genes governing circadian rhythms in plants. The research shows a [...]

Node Smith, ND The expression of many genes that have previously been associated with autism is abnormal and is also in violent psychopathy, a new study shows. The researchers used stem cell [...]

Node Smith, ND People with autism often suffer from gut problems, but nobody has known why. Researchers have now discovered the same gene mutations – found both in the brain and the gut – could [...]
