Researchers found the PHGDH gene directly causes Alzheimer’s and discovered a drug-like molecule, NCT-503, that may help ...

The causes of Alzheimer’s disease have long puzzled researchers, especially when most older adults show signs of the illness even without carrying the well-known mutations linked to it. In fact, ...

Scientists at the University of California San Diego have found that high levels of a certain enzyme in the blood could be an ...

A new study found that a gene recently recognized as a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease is actually a cause of it, due to its previously unknown secondary function that triggers a pathway that ...

Scientists know that Alzheimer’s is linked to the buildup of harmful substances in the brain called beta-amyloid plaques and ...

This edition of Market Factors provides top stock picks in health care, a sector that has historically combined high profit ...

PHGDH creates an enzyme key for the production of serine, an essential amino acid and a neurotransmitter. Because PHGDH’s enzymatic activity was its only known role, the researchers hypothesized that ...

UC San Diego researchers reveal PHGDH as a causal gene in Alzheimer's, linking its regulatory role to disease progression and potential therapeutic targets.

Graças à tecnologia, pesquisadores conseguiram entender relação entre a enzima PHGDH e a doença — além de testar molécula que ...

The research team is further using mouse and human brain organoids to more deeply examine the correlation between PHGDH and Alzheimer's disease. In a paper published in the scientific journal Cell ...
