Extracellular Vesicles with Andrew Hill: Tiny Messengers in Brain Disease 29.05.2026 26:37

In this episode of The Neurochemistry Podcast , host Nawon Kim speaks with Dr. Andrew Hill about extracellular vesicles - tiny particles released by cells that can carry proteins, lipids, RNA, and other signals through the body. Together, they explore how these vesicles may contribute to the spread of misfolded proteins in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, and prio...

Cleaning the Brain with Ana Maria Cuervo: Autophagy, Aging, and Neurodegeneration 29.05.2026 36:13

In this episode of The Neurochemistry Podcast , host Will Sanchez speaks with Dr. Ana Maria Cuervo about autophagy - the cell’s own cleaning and recycling system - and why it matters for brain health. Together, they explore how cells remove damaged components, what happens when this process slows down with aging, and how this can contribute to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Pa...
