Natural substances show promise against coronavirus

X-ray screening identifies compounds blocking a major corona enzyme. Three natural compounds present in foods like green tea, olive oil and red wine are promising candidates for the development of…

Boosting neuron formation restores memory in mice with Alzheimer’s disease

Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago have discovered that increasing the production of new neurons in mice with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) rescues the animals’ memory defects. The study, to…

Scientists create new map of the developing cerebral cortex
