Rutgers Health researchers have discovered that brain immune cells from people with a high genetic risk for alcohol use ...

Although neurons are considered the basic units of the brain and nervous system, they do not do all the work. Glia are a non-neuronal category of cells that do not transmit electrical signals but ...

The brain plays a big part in the aging process, and scientists think they’ve pinpointed the specific cells that control it. In a study of mice, researchers at the Allen Institute identified ...

Save time and give your brain a boost by making a batch of this hearty curry lentil stew that protects against aging and ...

Immune cells called regulatory T cells have long been known for their role in countering inflammation. In the setting of ...

UCSF scientists have discovered a new type of stem cell that helps young brains grow but is also capable of forming the cells found in tumors. The breakthrough could explain how adult brain cells take ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment ...

Senior author, Dr. Dervis Salih (UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology and UK Dementia Research Institute at UCL), said, "Our research highlights how genetic variation in certain brain cells can ...

Human brain cells, classified into different groups according to gene expression (each color represents a group), are mapped back to their original locations in the human brain. A detailed analysis of ...

The paper, published Wednesday in Science Translational Medicine, shows the potential of inhaled xenon to activate the brain’s immune cells, called microglia, to break down plaques that are a ha ...
