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

Human brain organoid models recreate how glioblastoma interacts with brain and immune cells, revealing hidden signaling that ...

By combining pioneering methods in biosciences and biocomputing, we're gaining new ground in the fight to end Alzheimer's ...

Microscopy image of a human stem cell-derived hippocampal organoid. When the tissue carries an epilepsy-causing variant in the SCN8A gene, inhibitory neurons (seen in red) are disrupted, and ...

Scientists from the Allen Institute have developed what they claim is a first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence-powered database and research tool for neuroscientists. The so-called Brain Knowledge ...

Draft atlases of the developing brain of humans and other mammals are presented in a collection of papers from the BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN), published in Nature. These resources ...

Using cortical organoids from individuals with autism, researchers tracked gene activity over development. Early ...

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

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

Like the seeds of a forest, a few cells in embryos eventually sprout into an ecosystem of brain cells. Neurons get the most recognition for their computing power. But a host of other cells provides ...
