How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years.

Accumulation of the protein tau in the brain is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. In a paper published in Cell ...

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years. Though ...

Researchers identify tanycytes as a critical mechanism for clearing toxic tau protein from the brain, offering a new target ...

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory postdoc Stan Kerstjens and colleagues have devised a new theory for how the brain organizes ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new role for little-known brain cells called tanycytes that may influence the development of Alzheimer’s disease. These specialized cells appear to help remove ...

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 ...

Scientists used a compact AI model to predict how visual cortex neurons respond to images, revealing hidden patterns in perception.

Researchers propose that brain cells inherit positional cues from their lineage and cluster near related cells to form large-scale structure. Mouse and zebrafish experiments support the model, with ...

Researchers at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist have shown that engineered macrophages can infiltrate brain tumor sites, recognize cancer cells, and destroy them in preclinical mouse models, ...
