A newly identified molecule called OLE helped restore the brain’s immune cells to a more protective state in Alzheimer’s ...

Researchers have successfully demonstrated how astroglia—cells that support the functioning of the brain—can be reprogrammed into cells resembling interneurons. The research, published in Science ...

One reason that chronic pain, mental or physical is consistently solvable is the brain’s property of neuroplasticity. Your brain physically constantly changes based on the nature of the sensory input.

Promising mouse studies and billions of dollars in funding are stoking excitement. But we’ve been here before.

The human body is an assemblage of systems that have a surprising degree of autonomy, and are all busy managing various aspects of our mental and physical lives. Nonetheless, they do communicate with ...

Scientists at the University of Cambridge believe they may have discovered a surprising new way to slow the spread of brain cancer. Instead of targeting cancer cells directly, their research suggests ...

A mechanism underlying neutrophil reprogramming in brain cancers has been uncovered, illuminating potential therapeutic targets to stop their pro-cancer effect. Tumor-infiltrating neutrophils are ...
