You can see it coming in right there, that little spot,” says neuroscientist and engineer Laura Lewis. A remarkably bright pulsing dot has appeared on the monitor in front of us. We are watching, in ...

Fat is an essential nutrient. Learn why it's so important for your brain, the best types to eat, and where to find them in your diet.

GPXs are responsible for reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to water by using glutathione (GSH). TXNRDs not only reduce thioredoxin (Trd), but also non-disulfide ...
