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

Knowing which lysosomal proteins are enriched in which brain cell types will help better understand contribution to neurological disorders.

Researchers now have a powerful new way to understand the types of brain cells that are affected in neurodegenerative diseases and to uncover connections between conditions such as Parkinson's, ...

An estimated 86 billion neurons in the average human brain govern our body’s functions and conjure — somehow — the human mind. C. elegans has 302 neurons in one sex and a few more in the other.

Researchers have identified OTULIN, an immune-regulating enzyme, as a key trigger of tau buildup in the brain. When OTULIN ...

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 ...

Alzheimer's disease, which causes a decline in memory and cognitive function, is known to disrupt circadian rhythms in patients, such as difficulty falling asleep at night and increased daytime ...

When young donor myeloid cells are transplanted into aging mouse brains, they quickly adopt aging phenotypes. In contrast, old myeloid cells transplanted in young brains take on a more youthful aspect ...

For the first time, scientists have successfully integrated lab-grown human brain cells into the brains of rats, and watched ...
