A UCSF team finds a liver protein, released with exercise, that improves memory in aging and Alzheimer’s disease by repairing the brain’s blood vessels. It's the missing link between exercise and ...

Exercise may sharpen the mind by repairing the brain’s protective shield. Researchers found that physical activity prompts the liver to release an enzyme that removes a harmful protein causing the ...

Researchers develop synthetic markers that cross the blood-brain barrier, allowing for noninvasive monitoring of the living brain via blood tests.

When mice exercise, their livers release GPLD1 into the bloodstream. The enzyme travels to the blood vessels surrounding the brain and removes TNAP from the surface of those cells. By trimming away ...

A series of recent studies has pinpointed the specific molecules and biological pathways through which physical activity protects the brain from aging, disease, and toxic protein buildup. Researchers ...

Researchers found that acoustic emission dose-an acoustic signal from microbubbles-could predict how to adjust ultrasound power and open the blood brain barrier for delivering drugs in patients with ...

Image describes the process of fusing two types of organoids to create a human brain organoid that incorporates a blood-brain barrier. Findings published in Cell Stem Cell. In a pioneering achievement ...
