Sleep deficiency is associated with atrophy of the inferior parietal region of the brain, according to a study published online.

These findings provide some evidence that reduced slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement sleep (REM) may contribute to brain atrophy, thereby increasing the risk of Alzheimer disease (AD).

Vertex is ending work on one of its two clinical-stage islet cell treatments after the diabetes therapy looked unlikely to trigger sufficient levels of insulin production in a phase 1/2 trial.

New research reveals that lower proportions of specific sleep stages are associated with reduced brain volume in regions vulnerable to the development of Alzheimer's disease over time.

Vertex has doubled down on cell-based therapies for type 1 diabetes (T1D), buying ViaCyte in a $320 million deal that it says will accelerate development of its own candidate VX-880. The deal has ...

The pleura is comprised of two layers: The visceral and parietal pleura join at the hilum, which serves as the point of entry for blood vessels, nerves, and the large airways of the lungs called the ...
