For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

In Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, a protein called tau can pile up inside brain cells and form toxic clumps. Those ...

Scientists discovered why some neurons resist tau toxicity, identifying CRL5SOCS4 as a crucial defense and linking ...

Mount Sinai and BPGbio scientists uncover novel molecular drivers from live brain samples that direct human brain structure ...

Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can continue to develop new brain cells into old age. Researchers at Sweden’s ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

Parkinson’s disease has long been defined by the slow, relentless loss of dopamine-producing neurons, with treatments focused ...

New research by UCLA Health and UC San Francisco has uncovered why certain brain cells are more resilient than others to the buildup of a toxic protein that is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease and ...

An investigation by researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in the US has filled in a missing link between the toxic build-up of proteins in the neurodegenerative condition ...

Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across ...

Lung cancer tumor cells in mice communicate with the brain, sending signals to deactivate the body’s immune response, a study ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...
