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 ...
When probes are inserted into the brain for research or clinical purposes, the electrical activity of neurons is recorded. These signals can be used to understand how the brain performs certain ...
Since the days of Santiago Ramon y Cajal and Wilhelm His, the vast complexity of cell types in the human brain has been regarded as one of the greatest mysteries, poetically described by Cajal as a ...
Researchers at Peking University have developed DUET, a breakthrough dual-color miniature two-photon microscope that ...

Progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS) is an autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) in humans. PMS is defined by neuroinflammation and axonal damage with advancing ...
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 ...
Senescent "zombie" cells are essential architects required to build and maintain the brain's protective barriers.
A new study constructs the first 3D single-cell brain atlas of the lamprey, uncovering the 450-million-year-old molecular ...
Neurons exposed to chronic iron overload do not simply die on contact. Instead, they enter a weakened, primed state that ...
