]]> Thu, 22 May 2008 00:00:00 EDT Understanding how neural stem cells divide, differentiate into various cell types, and generate new neurons in the adult brain could potentially enable new methods of brain repair.

]]> Wed, 5 Dec 2007 00:00:00 EDT What is the role of mitochondrial function and dysfunction in neurodegenerative disease? Researchers discussed the latest findings from the clinic and the lab.

]]> Tue, 28 Aug 2007 00:00:00 EDT As attempts to treat the plaques and tangles of Alzheimer's disease have faltered, some researchers have looked more broadly at the disease and its metabolic symptoms.

]]> Thu, 5 Jul 2007 00:00:00 EDT All diseases are traceable to aberrations at the cellular level. Thus, scientists are testing whether illnesses that seem quite different may yield to similar therapies.

]]> Tue, 1 May 2007 00:00:00 EDT One possible treatment for Alzheimer's disease is inhibition of kinases that hyperphosphorylate tau and disrupt its normal function. But highly selective inhibitors are hard to come by.
