Some brain cells can resist the toxic processes associated with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Scientists ...

A groundbreaking clinical trial is testing whether specially engineered stem cells can help the brain restore its own ...

The Johns Hopkins-created maps provide higher resolution and better coverage of gray matter than previously published maps, ...

A UCSF team finds a liver protein, released with exercise, that improves memory in aging and Alzheimer’s disease by repairing ...

Researchers have identified a specific protein complex inside neurons that tags toxic tau fragments for destruction, offering the clearest explanation yet for why certain brain cells survive while ...

The brain's ability to do everything from forming memories to coordinating movement relies on its cells producing the right proteins at the right time. But directly measuring this protein production, ...

The activity of certain neurons may influence our endurance for exercise, and these could be targeted to help us run faster ...

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can ...

Clearance mechanisms are key to removing aggregates and maintaining metastability.

A new study identifies an extreme but effective way that brain immune cells can prevent the parasite Toxoplasma gondii from spreading: they kill themselves to eliminate the dangerous microbes they ...

The scientists showed that each type of chemical harms oligodendrocytes in different ways using lab cell cultures, human brain organoids, and research on developing mouse brains. Quaternary ammonium ...
