Johns Hopkins scientists say they have used 3D imaging, special microscopes and artificial intelligence (AI) programs to ...
While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus at twice the rate of healthy older adults. In contrast, individuals with ...
“SuperAgers” with superb memories in their 80s and 90s produce more new brain cells than people some 50 years younger, according to a new study.
Researchers at UCLA Health and UC San Francisco have identified a specific molecular mechanism that explains why certain ...
Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue ...
A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can ...
New research finds that sleep is essential for protecting brain mitochondria by transferring toxic metabolic waste from neurons to glial cells for disposal.
A groundbreaking clinical trial is testing whether specially engineered stem cells can help the brain restore its own ...
Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School, working with collaborators at Imperial College London and partners in Europe and the United States, have uncovered new insights into how an additional copy of ...
Researchers have identified a specific protein complex inside neurons that tags toxic tau fragments for destruction, offering the clearest explanation yet for why certain brain cells survive while ...
