Researchers have discovered a new hybrid brain cell, bridging the gap between neurons and astrocytes. This cell can release neurotransmitters and may influence conditions like…
An effort to map complex and understudied cells leads to a surprise discovery. In a recent UCLA study, researchers discovered that astrocytes, brain support cells,…
PET imaging of reactive astrocyte-neuron interaction reveals new insights into Alzheimer’s disease pathology, offering a potential breakthrough in diagnosis and treatment. Recently, a team of…
Study at the University of Bonn elucidates previously unknown mechanism for spatial learning. There are two fundamentally different cell types in the brain, neurons, and…
Surprising research findings in mice could lead to new insights and treatments for a wide range of brain and neurological diseases, from epilepsy to Alzheimer’s….
Over the years, everyone loses a few brain cells. A study led by scientists from USC Stem Cell and the USC Neurorestoration Center presents evidence…
Brain cells known as astrocytes play a prominent part in tuning the changes in neuronal activity that enable memories to be stored. RIKEN neuroscientists have…
A European consortium coordinated by UNIGE shows how a mutation in the APOE protein changes the lipid transport in the brain and could promote the…
Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) are officially one-step closer to understanding the brain and its function. Dr. Corrado Calì, a…
A newly published stem cell study from UC Davis uncovers the brain-protective powers of astrocytes, finding that astrocytes can protect brain tissue and reduce disability…
