Branchlike structures called dendrites that extend from neurons appear to make their own computations independent of the cell ...
When cells are healthy, we don't expect them to suddenly change cell types. A skin cell on your hand won't naturally morph into a brain cell, and vice versa. That's thanks to epigenetic memory, which ...
Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...
Pre-wired ability in ‘resting’ T cells to remember past viral foes discovered, a promising breakthrough for targeted cancer therapies. A team of immunologists at the University of Massachusetts ...
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 ...
For decades, depression has been explained to patients as a “chemical imbalance” in the brain, a vague phrase that never specified which chemicals, in which cells, were going wrong. A study published ...
Memory is foundational to our human experience. By tracking and storing our experiences, it helps us navigate the world and ...

Scientists identified a new form of brain-cell death behind Alzheimer’s and dementia
Researchers at Oregon Health and Science University have identified ferroptosis, an iron-driven form of cell death, in ...
