Not enough YAP means too much deadly inflammation inside the brain Inside the brain, a protein called YAP, best known for its ability to help right-size our developing hearts and livers, appears to have the different but equally important task of helping control inflammation.

Hypnosis may provide new option for 'awake surgery' for brain cancer Could hypnosis help to reduce the psychological trauma associated with 'awake craniotomy' for brain cancers? A new 'hypno sedation' technique offers a new alternative for patients undergoing awake surgery for gliomas.

Study opens new door for ALS drug discovery Researchers have discovered the first-ever evidence-based description of the neuronal protein clumps thought to be important in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, a fatal neurodegenerative condition. This research development could be a crucial step toward developing drugs to stop the creation of the clumps and stem the progression of the disease.
