Neuroscience rarely enjoys clean experiments. Most brain disorders are mosaics of risk genes, aging, lifestyle and chance that leave their origins obscured. Huntington's disease (HD) is different. It ...

Macquarie University researchers have discovered a naturally occurring protein found in human cells plays a powerful role in repairing damaged DNA—the molecule that carries the genetic instructions ...

In a new study, Yale Cancer Center researchers identified a novel genetic defect that prevents brain tumor cells from repairing damaged DNA. They found that the defect is highly sensitive to an ...

A new study led by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden now suggests that the earliest signs of ...

Glioblastoma is the diagnosis that neuro-oncologists dread and patients fear, a fast-growing brain cancer that resists surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy and almost always returns. For decades, the ...
