Scientists are testing a strikingly simple idea for calming some of the brain’s most stubborn seizures: remove the aging cells that seem to be fanning the flames. Instead of cutting out large pieces ...
For the first time, real-time imaging tracks what happens to cancer cells arriving in the brain, identifying a new strategy to prevent brain tumors. Metastasis occurs when cancer cells break away from ...
Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have identified five "major epochs" of brain structure over the course of a human life, as our brains rewire to support different ways of thinking while ...
WASHINGTON, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious initiative to chart how the many types of brain cells emerge and mature from the earliest embryonic and fetal stages ...
Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive disorders, including autism. But ethical questions loom. Brain organoids, which ...
Research on conditions like autism, schizophrenia and even brain cancer increasingly relies on clusters of human cells called brain organoids. These pea-size bits of neural tissue model aspects of ...
