The results of a recent research project conducted jointly by Cardiocentro Ticino and the EOC Neurocentro deliver a message of hope in the fight against Parkinson’s disease, as well as providing encouraging news for the USI Faculty of Biomedical Sciences. ...

Hair cells, the mechanosensory receptors of the inner ear, are responsible for hearing and balance. Hair cell death and consequent hearing loss are common results of treatment with ototoxic drugs, including the widely used aminoglycoside antibiotics. Induction of heat shock ...

We are looking for highly motivated postdoctoral research fellows with a PhD in molecular biology and neuroscience field awarded within the past three years. These positions will be involved in functional characterization of extracellular vesicles (such as exosomes) in Alzheimer’s ...

Vesicles, fluid-filled sacs that brain cells make to trap amyloid, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s, appear to also contribute to the disease, scientists report. Reducing the production of these vesicles, called exosomes, could help reduce the amount of amyloid and lipid ...

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are showing promise in gene therapy trials and have proven to be extremely efficient biological tools in basic neuroscience research. One major limitation to their widespread use in the neuroscience laboratory is the cost, labor, skill, ...

Postdoctoral Fellow to Study Exosomes in Neurodegenerative Disease. The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.We are seeking a highly motivated individual for a postdoctoral scholar position in the Department of Neurology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. We ...

Information exchange executed by extracellular vesicles, including exosomes, is a newly described form of intercellular communication important in the development and physiology of neural systems. These vesicles can be released from cells, are packed with information including signaling proteins and ...

Technology May Be Useful in Measuring the Prognosis and Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease October 30, 2014 08:15 AM Eastern Daylight Time ALISO VIEJO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Brain insulin resistance is an abnormality in Alzheimer’s disease that contributes to neural cell damage and ...

SAN DIEGO — Stimulating dendritic cells with interferon-gamma caused them to release exosomes that promoted neuronal myelination in vitro and in live rats, offering a potential therapy for advanced multiple sclerosis, a researcher said here. In the key experiment, intranasal ...
