The Johns Hopkins-created maps provide higher resolution and better coverage of gray matter than previously published maps, ...
Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue ...
Researchers have identified a specific protein complex inside neurons that tags toxic tau fragments for destruction, offering the clearest explanation yet for why certain brain cells survive while ...
A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can ...
Researchers at UCLA Health and UC San Francisco have identified a specific molecular mechanism that explains why certain ...
New research finds that sleep is essential for protecting brain mitochondria by transferring toxic metabolic waste from neurons to glial cells for disposal.
A groundbreaking clinical trial is testing whether specially engineered stem cells can help the brain restore its own ...
In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells - one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult ...
Neurons have a "hibernation mode." Scientists discover how brain cells use RNA tentacles to lock their protein factories together to survive when energy is low.
