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

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 ...

A combination of high-resolution imaging and machine learning, also known as artificial intelligence (AI), can track cells ...

Now, researchers at Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet say they’ve found the clearest answer yet. They report the discovery of ...

Study shows neurons continue to form in adult brain's hippocampus, presenting new evidence on brain adaptability.

At the surface, the immune response to a flu virus is simple. Some cells recognize the pathogen and send a signal to the ...

Results reveal that weight loss has significant effects on cellular processes that are known to affect metabolic health and ...

Researchers from Sweden have discovered that the human brain continues to grow new cells in the memory region—called the hippocampus—even into old age. Using advanced tools to examine brain samples ...

If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell's nucleus, explaining why it must be ...

A breakthrough in the understanding of how mammals create red blood cells could lead to opportunities for artificial blood to ...

A study has shown that neurons or nerve cells continue to form well into late adulthood in the brain’s hippocampus, which ...
