Researchers at LMU have developed a human cell model that replicates key mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases—with ...

Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, according to a new ...

Most neurons that die in Alzheimer’s disease do not simply starve or get smothered by amyloid plaques. According to a study ...

Seattle, WASH.—October 7, 2025—In a powerful fusion of AI and neuroscience, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and Allen Institute designed an AI model that has created ...

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 ...

A cellular-resolution map of prenatal brain development in Down syndrome reveals disrupted neuron production timing and altered cell types.

Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, a new study in mice showed. These pathways appear to connect distant regions in ways that have ...

Scientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine report new evidence that clusters of brain tissue derived from the cells of patients ...

Long dismissed as ‘brain glue,’ star-shaped cells called astrocytes are emerging as a breakthrough in treating Alzheimer’s ...

A stress-related protein may help some brains resist Alzheimer’s decline, keeping memory and function intact despite damage.

In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly.
