Transplanting healthy human glial cells into HD mouse brains improved movement, memory, and survival. Even more strikingly, the glia coaxed diseased neurons to behave more like healthy ones, offering ...

Immune checkpoints are regulatory proteins that prevent the immune system from attacking healthy tissues. Some cancer cells ...

I’m not sure whether it was elementary school science classes or Fred Flintstone’s Brontosaurus burgers that made the giant herbivore one of the most recognizable dinosaurs to me as a kid. But for ...

A study reveals a brain circuit between the interpeduncular nucleus and the laterodorsal tegmentum that drives nicotine ...

Researchers have uncovered a hormone-sensitive neural circuit between the hypothalamic medial preoptic area and paraventricular nucleus that, when ...

The authors proposed two hypotheses: first, that methamphetamine induces neuroinflammation, and second, that it alters neuronal stem cell differentiation. These are valuable hypotheses, and the ...

A cloned yak calf has been safely delivered by c-section in Tibet, marking a significant development in yak breeding programs ...

The blending of high-resolution imaging with machine learning is able to track cells that have been damaged from injury, aging, or disease, and no longer grow and reproduce normally, researchers say ...

This most fundamental question was famously posited by none other than Nobel laureate physicist Enrico Fermi (1901–1954).

For decades, the dream of fixing harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA felt out of reach. Scientists have long known these ...

Scientists have uncovered a brain circuit linking physical pain to emotional suffering, offering new hope for chronic pain treatment.

A new study reveals that neurons in the brain’s memory center, the hippocampus, continue to form well into late adulthood. A ...
