Cell death in dementia has long posed a frustrating problem. Toxic proteins pile up inside neurons in Alzheimer’s disease and ...

Digging deep into the molecular mechanisms behind ALS, researchers at the Les Turner ALS Center at Northwestern Medicine have ...

While early in life, the accumulation of iron appears to have little effect on neuron function, later in life, it can ...

Cells have surface receptors that couple to proteins and other molecules to initiate or inhibit certain behaviors.

A new study from the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience researchers may help explain an enduring mystery about ...

Signalling between neurons and tumour cells in the lung and brain promotes the growth of small-cell lung cancer. These interactions might be a therapeutic target. Read the paper: Neuronal ...

Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative technique to non-invasively measure two key signals, membrane voltage and intracellular calcium levels, at the same time, in neurons of ...

Markers of a new mechanism for cell death, called karyoptosis, have been found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's ...

McGill University researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes ...

A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...

Scientists placed 200,000 living human brain cells on a microchip and taught it how to play a doomsday video game — and are now using the dystopian tech to power AI data centers. Australian biotech ...
