This exercise "plays a crucial role in brain health, with increasing evidence linking it to a reduced risk of Alzheimer's ...

The study focuses on how immune cells react to amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques, a hallmark of Alzheimer's, and how this immune response differs from the reaction to bacterial toxins. "Bacteria cannot ...

Scientists in China have developed a potential vaccine to prevent the build-up of plaque in arteries that can lead to blood clots, stroke and heart attacks. At such a critical moment in US history, we ...

However, when researchers eliminated CX3CL1 receptors from one of the immune cells in aspartame-fed mice, the harmful plaque buildup didn't occur. These results point to CX3CL1’s role in ...

The National Psoriasis Foundation explains that plaques often appear as raised, red patches covered with a silvery white buildup of dead skin cells or scales on Caucasian skin. On skin of color ...
