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

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

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

A new study by researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine has identified a promising strategy to treat brain ...

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, ...

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 ...

Scientists reverse Alzheimer's memory loss in mice by using NAD+ to restore brain energy, defying decades of research.
