Scientists have mapped how a brain protein spreads Alzheimer’s between neurons. This discovery could lead to new ways to halt ...

A lattice-like scaffold hidden inside neurons acts as a spatial gatekeeper for how brain cells absorb material from their ...

They found Cas9 persists much longer in neurons; while Cas9 editing continued for only a few days in dividing iPS cells, it continued for as long as a month in neurons. "This could be an important ...

Scientists found a hidden 'gatekeeper' in brain cells that may explain—and help stop—Alzheimer's damage.

Researchers at the University of Florida and Trinity College Dublin have identified the gene SLC35F2 as the long-sought ...

Branchlike structures called dendrites that extend from neurons appear to make their own computations independent of the cell ...

A molecule linked to chronic inflammation disrupts the brain's ability to create new neurons, uncovering a pathway with ...

A breakthrough from the University of Cambridge is offering new hope for one of medicine’s most stubborn challenges: repairing damage to the brain and spinal cord. By growing miniature connected ...

A team at Northwestern University has printed artificial neurons from molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) — a semiconducting mineral — on flexible plastic that produce spiking waveforms closely matching ...

Converting one type of cell to another—for example, a skin cell to a neuron—can be done through a process that requires the skin cell to be induced into a "pluripotent" stem cell, then differentiated ...

Researchers have discovered that a microscopic skeleton inside neurons does much more than hold cells together. It acts as a gatekeeper that controls what brain cells absorb and when they absorb it.
