A group of specialized cells play a crucial part in clearing toxic proteins from inside the brain 1. But in people with Alzheimer’s disease, these cells malfunction, leading to the build up of tau ...

How does the brain turn experiences into memories? Scientists reveal how two neuron types control learning. Also: lynx rewilding, natural hydrogen, and avalanche risk.

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to ...

Until now, conventional 3D cell cultures have often been either too rigid or too unstable to realistically reproduce the ...

Researchers create a massive single-cell atlas of the aging mouse brain, revealing how epigenetic changes and "jumping genes" drive neurodegeneration.

Scientists have developed a promising new approach to treating Alzheimer’s disease by turning ordinary brain cells into powerful plaque-clearing machines. Instead of requiring frequent antibody ...

Researchers mapped distinct cancer cell communities within supratentorial ependymoma tumors, showing how different cell types drive tumor growth, mobility, and interactions with the brain environment.

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

Accumulation of the protein tau in the brain is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. In a paper published in Cell ...

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years. Though ...

Scientists studying the cellular origins of pineoblastoma discovered a dependency applicable to anatomically distinct brain tumor types, which may be therapeutically targetable. MEMPHIS, Tenn., March ...
