Reviewers’ Notes Using Cryo-EM, a powerful microscopy technique, researchers at IISc and collaborators have decoded the molecular architecture of a transporter protein controlling the movement of a key neurotransmitter. Neurons or nerve cells communicate by releasing chemical signals called neurotransmitters. Each neurotransmitter can activate specific sets of proteins called receptors that in turn either excite or inhibit neural communication. A […]

A study led by McMaster University and Hamilton Health Sciences researchers at the Population Research Health Institute (PHRI) has found that not eating enough of six key foods in combination is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in adults. Consuming fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, fish and whole-fat dairy products is key to lowering the risk of CVD, […]

Shaun Turner, 38, was diagnosed in 2014 after he lost both his sense of smell and eyesight. He also went from being ‘chilled and easygoing’ to ‘really tired all the time, really […]

A team of health care specialists and neuroscientists affiliated with several institutions in the U.S., has found that injecting a protein called klotho into older rhesus macaques led to improvements in working memory and their ability to do certain tasks. In their paper, published in the journal Nature Aging, the team describe the experiments they conducted giving the rhesus form […]
