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 ...

For each age, researchers analysed the genetic activity of a variety of cell types located in 16 different broad regions - constituting 35% of the total volume of a mouse brain. Like previous ...

The BBB is a critical component of the central nervous system (CNS), consisting primarily of brain microvessel endothelial cells (BMVECs) and their tight junction proteins (including ... derived ...

Mice VR headsets used to study brain activity and reactions Innovative MouseGoggles offer immersive experiences for mice Potential for studying neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s ...

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 ...

Berbamine (BBM) has shown potential in neuroprotection and cardiovascular disease prevention. This study aimed to investigate the impact of ARG1 deficiency on human brain microvascular endothelial ...

Stimulating dopamine-producing brain cells wirelessly with gold nanoparticles has proven effective at treating mice with Parkinson's disease, even reversing a portion of their neurological damage.

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 ...

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 ...

The brain is made up of many varieties of cells. Traditionally, scientists organized brain cells into two major types: neurons and glial cells. Neurons carry electrochemical signals, a bit like ...
