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

A Cedars-Sinai study has identified a previously unknown role for astrocyte cells in how the brain responds to damage and disease. Cedars-Sinai researchers have identified a biological repair process ...

Scientists have traced a devastating pattern of brain cell loss in a handful of families to a single, ultra-rare mutation ...

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their ...

Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism ...

Clearing out “aged” brain cells dramatically reduced seizures and restored memory in a new epilepsy study.

Gliomas are cancers that originate directly in the brain, instead of spreading to the brain from other parts of the body.

A team of scientists—including Agnieszka Ciesielska (left), Barbara Klein (center), and Jeanne Paz (right)—showed that modified stem cells can improve brain activity, even when administered more than ...

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 ...

The findings add to previous research at CU Anschutz which found that Alzheimer’s patients given Leukine showed improvement ...

The discovery of a new type of stem cell in the brain could usher in better treatments for the deadliest brain tumor. UCSF scientists have discovered a stem cell in the young brain that's capable of ...
