Scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) may have uncovered a key reason why women tend to outlive men and maintain better cognitive function as they age. Their research ...

Researchers have detailed the precise mechanism through which the inflammatory signaling molecule IL-12 contributes to Alzheimer's disease.

This leads to inflammation, loss of myelin, and formation of "lesions" or "plaques" within the brain tissue. Most of what is known about MS progression has come from analysis of postmortem human ...
