After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, ...

For some time, we've known that it's rare to see people with both cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Now, scientists believe ...

UCLA scientists have developed advanced miniature 3D tumor organoid models that make it possible to study glioblastoma tumors in a setting that closely mirrors the human brain, shedding light on how ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...

Stressed brain cells can survive longer by slowing sugar use, revealing a short-term protective response that later turns ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have identified a hazardous waste collector in the brain that disposes of the toxic clumps of ...

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 ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...
