Molecular Zip Code Draws Killer T Cells Straight to Brain Tumors Dec. 5, 2024 — Scientists have developed a 'molecular GPS' to guide immune cells into the brain and kill tumors without harming ...

Mice given the treatment had improved recovery from ... Epigenetic Changes Reprogram Astrocytes Into Brain Stem Cells Sep. 4, 2024 — Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes ...

Now, a recent study from Gladstone Institutes and the regenerative medicine company SanBio offers new hope. Scientists have shown that a stem cell-derived therapy can restore normal brain activity ...

Based on new brain mapping research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), scientists have discovered that not all cell types in the brain age in the same way. They found that some ...

NIH-funded mouse study provides roadmap for how aging may alter brain cell genetic activity Based on new brain mapping research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), scientists have ...

Researchers at Washington University have found that sickle cell disease causes the brain to age faster, by about 14 years, impacting cognitive abilities. A groundbreaking study reveals that ...

For 30 years, researchers have known that Huntington's is caused by an inherited mutation in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene, but they didn't know how the mutation causes brain cell death. A new study ...

Scientists at the Allen Institute have identified specific cell types in the brain of mice that undergo major changes as they age, along with a specific hot spot where many of those changes occur.

Although neurons are considered the basic units of the brain and nervous system, they do not do all the work. Glia are a non-neuronal category of cells that do not transmit electrical signals but ...

Previous research has found differences in gene expression between humans and chimpanzees, and that human cells tend to have higher gene expression, but the picture was blurry. The brain is made ...
