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

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 ...

For some time, we've known that it's rare to see people with both cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Now, scientists believe ...

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 ...

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 ...

A team of Canadian scientists has uncovered a new way to slow the growth of glioblastoma, the most aggressive and currently ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their behavior.

UCLA Health researchers have created a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism spectrum disorder affect early brain development, providing new insights ...

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

A new study published in Nature in the paper, “Developmental convergence and divergence in human stem cell models of autism,” provides new insights by demonstrating that while different mutations ...

Stressed brain cells can survive longer by slowing sugar use, revealing a short-term protective response that later turns ...
