Enhancing neurogenesis for the treatment of Parkinson’s – Neuroscience News

Neuroscience News logo for mobile.

Summary: Researchers have pioneered a method to enhance the generation of dopaminergic neurons, crucial for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, by targeting specific receptors within the Wnt signaling pathway. Using synthetic antibodies, the team successfully directed stem cell differentiation in the midbrain to produce these key neurons, which are critical to brain health and are … Read more

New research led by the University of California, Irvine addresses a fundamental debate in astrophysics: Must invisible dark matter exist to explain how the Universe works the way it does, or can physicists explain how things work based solely on in the matter that we can directly? observe? Dark photons are hypothetical dark sector particles … Read more
