By contrast, glial cells seemed to be electrically silent and were dismissed as dull by most researchers. Some glia, called ...
As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach ...
The brains of humans and other mammals contain a vast array of neuronal and non-neuronal cell types. The human capacity to process information into complex emotions, behaviours and decisions relies on ...
Whether or not we grow new brain cells as adults has been the subject of an ongoing and often contentious debate. Now, evidence suggests that we can. This could help answer one of neuroscience’s most ...
Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell ...
For decades, scientists have argued over one of neuroscience’s most fundamental questions: Can the adult human brain grow new neurons? Now, researchers say they finally have the answer, and it changes ...
A new study identifies a biological process that empowers specific brain cells to eliminate harmful proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease. By increasing the levels of a specific regulatory ...
Assistant Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Tal Sharf's lab used organoids to make fundamental discoveries about human ...
Researchers for the first time have turned human skin cells into working brain cells, completely bypassing the need for stem cells, they say. The achievement comes a year after researchers at Stanford ...
