A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that individual cells in the human ...

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 ...

What matters isn’t the condensate—it’s whether tubulin is present, an associate professor told Newsweek.

Researchers at Oregon Health and Science University have identified ferroptosis, an iron-driven form of cell death, in ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising principle behind the brain's intricate development from a single cell. Researchers propose that cells, much like spreading human populations, tend to stay near ...

A newly discovered molecule, OLE, restored the brain's immune cells to a more protective state in Alzheimer's disease models.

Cambridge researchers created miniature brain-and-spinal-cord systems in the lab that can send signals and even trigger tiny muscle contractions. They discovered that human neurons gradually lose ...

A new study describes a gene therapy strategy that uses the brain's own glymphatic transport system to distribute engineered viral vectors throughout the brain.

Cambridge scientists have grown miniature circuits in the lab that mimic how the brain and spinal cord connect, which underlies human movement. They used this model to show how damage to these ...
