Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can responsibly use these bits of gray matter.

Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across ...

A newly identified enzyme appears to control tau production, brain inflammation, and aging. Researchers at the University of ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have used a "zap-and-freeze" technology to watch hard-to-see brain cell communications in living brain tissue from mice and humans. Findings from the new ...

Scientists are unraveling the role of senescent cells in a common form of epilepsy, and it could point to new treatments.

A neuroscientist survey shows that 40 percent think it might be possible to preserve a human brain, potentially well enough ...

ETH Zurich researchers have developed a model that explains how nerve cells in the brain connect during development. Their model reveals that the crucial factor is progressive cell division. This ...
