…team of researchers set out to investigate the role of oxidative stress and DNA hydroxymethylation caused by particulate matter from air pollution, in the development of neurodegenerative disease. 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC)…
…– all of which are consistent with other debilitating neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Dr. Torrente recommends that screening for miRNAs could be effective for early detection of ALS….
…scientists are finding that air pollution could alter methyl tags on DNA and increase one’s risk for neurodegenerative disease. Interestingly, B vitamins may protect against harmful epigenetic effects of pollution…
…by examining the epigenetic mechanisms involved in brain health as we age. Scientists at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) have reported in Nature Communications a new animal study…
…potential neuroprotective benefits that could even help those suffering from a neurodegenerative disease. If the Thanksgiving buffet this year doesn’t already include fish such as salmon or other sources of…
…Now, scientists provide evidence lending support to the hypothesis that chemical tags on DNA assist in encoding memories. Researchers from the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) in Göttingen teamed…
…such as Junior Seau, Dave Duerson and Jovan Belcher, all whom were diagnosed postmortem with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a neurodegenerative disease linked to repetitive head trauma. Much is still…
…A team of researchers from the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) found that fathers who consumed an excessive amount of particular supplements could epigenetically harm their offspring, affecting their…
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease that occurs due to an accumulation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. It affects over 5 million Americans of…
…disorders, including many neurodegenerative diseases. Interestingly, metabolic biomarkers were not found to correlate with sleep patterns. Therefore the research team ruled out prior sleep behavior as a contributor to the…
