Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...

This bioengineering breakthrough has found a way to make neurons grown in a dish react just like the real thing. "Neurons that fire together, wire together" describes the neural plasticity seen in ...

The spread of tau protein aggregates in the brain—a process that drives cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia—has been studied with a model that incorporates human ...

Researchers have used microRNA-based direct reprogramming to generate neurons from fibroblasts, providing new insights into late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Aging is the most significant risk factor ...

Scientists have created a novel organoid model of the human brain that contains astrocytes -- which have been excluded from other models thus far -- to study inflammation in diseases like Alzheimer's.

For more than a decade, neuroscientists had recordings from monkey brains learning to sort visual patterns. They had analyzed ...

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have shown that a small chemical compound can restore the cellular waste-disposal system in lab-grown neurons from patients with ...

SALT LAKE CITY, March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Intactis Bio Corp, a leader in biohybrid computing, announced a major milestone: in a controlled laboratory setting, living brain cells (neurons) ...

Accumulation of a protein called TDP-43 is a key feature of ALS and frontotemporal dementia. In a newly published study, researchers report 'seeding' this accumulation through fragments of the culprit ...
