Senescent neuron discovery in brains opens path for Alzheimer's drug development Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have found that neurons from people with Alzheimer's disease show deterioration and undergo a late-life stress process called cellular senescence, while senescent cells could be a way to slow neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration.Read More
Cryo-EM reveals 3D structure of inflammasomes implicated in multiple diseases Using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), researchers from Harvard Medical School and Peking University have generated 3D images of the inflammasome in its active state for the first time, enabling scientists to view a structure linked to multiple diseases in near-atomic resolution.Read More
