Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain's support cells ...

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene ...

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 ...

MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

The question of whether adult brains grow new brain cells has been debated for more than 60 years. Known as "neurogenesis", this process has been observed in the brain of other adult animals, yet its ...

Recent studies integrating multi-omics data with cell atlases across development for brains of humans and model organisms are revealing conserved and divergent patterns of brain development at the ...

Researchers have identified special immune cells in the brain that help slow Alzheimer’s. These microglia work to reduce inflammation and block the spread of harmful proteins. They appear to protect ...

A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence ...
