Researchers have used gene therapy to partially reprogram the brain cells that store memories in aging mice, reversing signs of cellular decline and restoring learning ability. The technique, ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

The lab of Filippo Veglia, Ph.D., at The Wistar Institute has discovered a previously unknown mechanism for how aggressive brain cancers reprogram immune system cells from fighting cancer to enabling ...

Researchers at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist have shown that engineered macrophages can infiltrate brain tumor sites, recognize cancer cells, and destroy them in preclinical mouse models, ...

A mechanism underlying neutrophil reprogramming in brain cancers has been uncovered, illuminating potential therapeutic targets to stop their pro-cancer effect. Tumor-infiltrating neutrophils are ...

When a neuron ages, it loses synaptic connections with other neurons, it is less able to transmit nerve impulses, and its metabolism is also altered. This process of neuronal ageing — inevitable with ...

A research team led by Professor Oh Yong-Seok of the Department of Brain Sciences at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science ...
