Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

Researchers developed a way to directly reprogram human glial cells into PV interneurons without passing through a stem‑cell stage.

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain's support cells ...

“This is a paradigm shift,” says Donn Van Deren, PhD, postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, who ...

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene ...

MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

Based on new brain mapping research, scientists have discovered that not all cell types in the brain age in the same way. They found that some cells, such as a small group of hormone-controlling cells ...

A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence ...

Many cells in our body have a single primary cilium, a micrometer-long, hair-like organelle protruding from the cell surface that transmits cellular signals. Cilia are important for regulating ...

Detailed mapping of 1.2 million brain cells has revealed that not all cell types age in the same way and that some – found in a specific ‘hot spot’ – are more sensitive to the aging process. It opens ...
