Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...
About ten years ago, scientists began exploring an unconventional idea for studying the brain: using bioluminescent light to ...
Detailed mapping of 1.2 million brain cells has revealed that not all cell types age in the same way and that some – found in a specific ‘hot spot’ – are more sensitive to the aging process. It opens ...
Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by the Lippincott-Schwartz Lab shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those ...
Delivering a connection-building protein to star-shaped cells in the brain could reverse changes to neural circuits seen in ...
A new study published in the journal Addiction Neuroscience provides evidence that cannabidiol may help prevent the ...
Foods like extra-virgin olive oil, berries and eggs have nutrients to benefit brain health. More brain health-promoting ...
A Cedars-Sinai study has identified a previously unknown role for astrocyte cells in how the brain responds to damage and ...
A new treatment for one type of Parkinson's disease may be on the horizon after researchers discovered a "brake" that can halt cell death. The study, led by researchers from Stanford University, ...
A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence ...
The technology is still in its infancy. But its trajectory suggests that ethical conversations may become pressing far sooner than expected. These “biocomputers” are still in their early days. They ...
