CLERMONT-FERRAND, France— Michelin will invest over $60 million to construct an initial industrial demonstration unit for a bio-sourced, non-toxic molecule, known as a "sleeping giant." 5-HMF, also ...

The molecule is called hevin, and it is secreted by a type of brain cell known as an astrocyte. These star-shaped cells help maintain the connections between neurons.

A new study reveals that hevin, a molecule secreted by astrocytes in the brain, can reverse cognitive decline associated with aging and dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. The research ...

In Brazil, researchers from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and collaborators from the University of São Paulo (USP) have discovered that a molecule called Hevin can reverse ...
