After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, forms an abnormal connection with an enzyme called ClpP. This enzyme normally ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational har ...

Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when the cellular ...

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 ...

A hidden communication network between brain cells and glioblastoma tumors may be key to slowing this aggressive cancer.

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

Researchers have identified a key molecular interaction that accelerates Parkinson’s disease by damaging the brain’s energy ...

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 are unraveling the role of senescent cells in a common form of epilepsy, and it could point to new treatments.
