For some time, we've known that it's rare to see people with both cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Now, scientists believe ...

UCLA scientists have developed advanced miniature 3D tumor organoid models that make it possible to study glioblastoma tumors in a setting that closely mirrors the human brain, shedding light on how ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

Scientists are unraveling the role of senescent cells in a common form of epilepsy, and it could point to new treatments.

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 ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have identified a hazardous waste collector in the brain that disposes of the toxic clumps of ...

Stressed brain cells can survive longer by slowing sugar use, revealing a short-term protective response that later turns ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...
