After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, ...

Despite decades of research, the mechanisms behind fast flashes of insight that change how a person perceives their world, ...

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 ...

Parkinson’s disease has long been defined by the slow, relentless loss of dopamine-producing neurons, with treatments focused ...

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 ...

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 ...

Brain microphysiological systems are reshaping in vitro neurotoxicity testing through functional validation and advanced ...

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

A team of Canadian scientists has uncovered a new way to slow the growth of glioblastoma, the most aggressive and currently incurable form of brain cancer—and identified an existing medication that ...

Scientists at the University of Virginia School of Medicine are chasing a new way to slow glioblastoma, the deadliest brain ...

Brain cells that promote tumor expansion for aggressive cancers such as glioblastoma can be “flipped” to instead inhibit that ...
