Our past experiences shape how much we eat and where and what we choose to eat. Using preclinical models, researchers from ...

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 ...

Every year, around 15 million babies worldwide are born before 37 weeks of gestation. Being born preterm can disrupt development, and earlier births increase the risk of life-changing health outcomes.

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

A groundbreaking brain atlas maps nearly 680,000 cells to reveal how the human brain develops at the single-cell level. The discovery could transform Parkinson’s research by setting new standards for ...

Researchers developed a mouse model of multiple sclerosis that captures the features of progression independent of relapse ...

Scientists have reversed severe memory loss in two mouse models of Alzheimer’s by restoring the brain’s energy supply. Late-stage mice showed brain tissue repairing itself once fuel balance returned, ...

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

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