Polaryx Therapeutics Marks Rare Disease Day, Reaffirming Commitment to Patients with Rare Pediatric Lysosomal Storage Disorders

Rare Disease Day, observed annually on the last day of February, serves as an international campaign to raise awareness about the challenges faced by individuals and families living with rare diseases ...

Are tau PET scans 'lighting up' too much of the brain in Alzheimer's disease?

Tau proteins play an important role in Alzheimer's disease. Tau helps to stabilize neurons in the brain, but in Alzheimer's disease, tau proteins can misfold and tangle inside neurons. These tangles ...

Researchers studied people over 80 whose brains still produce new neurons. The single habit they all shared had nothing to do with diet or exercise.

Researchers studying "super agers" — people over 80 whose brains still produce new neurons — found that the single habit they all shared wasn't about diet or exercise. It was something far more human, ...
