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 ...
Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, according to a new study in mice. These pathways appear to connect distant regions in ways that ...
Researchers have shown for the first time that malfunctioning mitochondria — the cell’s energy generators — may directly ...
A new study suggests the APOE2 longevity gene may protect the brain from Alzheimer's by helping neurons repair DNA damage and ...

The blood-brain barrier protects the central nervous system by tightly regulating what crosses between the two compartments. Neurons are vulnerable if the barrier suffers damage or weakens with age, ...
It is known that the antiepileptic drug valproate increases the risk of developmental disorders in unborn children. A study ...
Alzheimer’s has a particular way of living inside a family long before anyone says the word out loud. A parent stumbles on a ...
