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

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

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu New mouse data reveal that ageing neurons struggle to clear synaptic proteins, shifting the burden to ...

A collaborative effort is trying to construct the cell atlas of the developing brains of humans and animal models. Using advanced single-cell and spatial technologies, they mapped how brain cell types ...

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 ...

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 ...
