A groundbreaking clinical trial is testing whether specially engineered stem cells can help the brain restore its own dopamine production in people with Parkinson’s disease. Because the condition is ...

Researchers at UCLA Health and UC San Francisco have identified a specific molecular mechanism that explains why certain ...

In Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, a protein called tau can pile up inside brain cells and form toxic clumps. Those clumps help drive memory loss and other symptoms.

Some brain cells can resist the toxic processes associated with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Scientists ...

A pioneering clinical trial is exploring whether lab-engineered stem cells can restore dopamine production in people with Parkinson’s disease.

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can ...

Every year, around 15 million babies worldwide are born before 37 weeks of gestation. Being born preterm can disrupt development, and earlier births increase the risk of life-changing health outcomes.

Johns Hopkins scientists say they have used 3D imaging, special microscopes and artificial intelligence (AI) programs to ...

Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have identified a specific enzyme inside immune cells that keeps Toxoplasma gondii, one of the most common brain parasites on the planet, ...

Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue ...
