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

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 ...

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

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...

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 ...

Among the newly identified brain cell types were some in the neocortex and the striatum region, which controls movement and certain other functions. Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious ...

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain's support cells into parvalbumin-positive cells. These cells act as the brain's ...

New research reveals that certain brain tumors may originate silently within normal brain cells long before a tumor forms.

In a revealing Genomic Press Interview published today in Genomic Psychiatry , Dr. Maria Margarita Behrens recounts an extraordinary scientific journey that wound through four countries and multiple ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells - one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...
