Neurological Disorders: This diseases usually include complications of the brain, spine and the nerves that connect them. There are many diseases involcd with the nervous system, such as brain tumors, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease and strokes.
Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive, inherited, degenerative brain disorder that produces physical, mental and emotional changes. Named for George Huntington, the physician who fi...
The Willerth lab investigates how to engineer neural tissue by combining pluripotent stem cells, controlled drug delivery and biomaterial scaffolds. When generating these replacement tissues,...
Synaptic dysfunction and loss caused by age-dependent accumulation of synaptotoxic Amyloid beta (Abeta)1-42 oligomers is proposed to underlie cognitive decline in Alzheimers disease (AD). Syn...
When speaking of neurodegenerative diseases, average public is not made aware of the true cost that brain related disorders have on annual budget. The true impact on economy is not usually...
The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative is part of a new Presidential focus aimed at revolutionizing our understanding of the human brain. By...
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that leads to widespread pathology within the central nervous system (CNS) and is the most common cause of neurologic disability among young a...
Down syndrome (DS) is a complex multi-system disorder affecting more than 5.8 million individuals around the world and it causes significant physical, psychological, and cognitive abnormaliti...
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a heterogenous disease that affects 1.5% of the population. Similar to cancer, early detection coupled with an effective treatment strategy can significantly impr...
