A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years. Though ...

A new single-cell atlas shows how epigenetic changes reshape brain cells during aging, revealing genomic instability, ...

Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when lysosomes, the cellular sanitation machines responsible for those tasks, break down or ...

Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...

A large-scale atlas of mouse brain cells has revealed that aging does not affect all brain cell types equally. Some cell ...

A new discovery is bringing light to a neglected corner of multiple sclerosis (MS) research by revealing how the disease ...

CANBERRA, March 26 (Xinhua) -- A study led by scientists in Australia has uncovered a gut-brain pathway governing how parasitic infections lead to nausea, appetite loss and other sickness symptoms.
