New research by UCLA Health and UC San Francisco has uncovered why certain brain cells are more resilient than others to the buildup of a toxic protein that is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease and ...

Knowing which lysosomal proteins are enriched in which brain cell types will help better understand contribution to neurological disorders.

Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when the cellular ...

Among the newly identified brain cell types were some in the neocortex and the striatum region, which controls movement and certain other functions. Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...

New research shows how some brain cells fight tau buildup in Alzheimer’s, pointing to internal systems that help neurons survive longer.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Different populations of cells in the mouse brain, each one targeted with high specificity by one of the many new genetic tools ...

New research reveals that certain brain tumors may originate silently within normal brain cells long before a tumor forms.

Brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells in or around the brain. They can be primary (originating in the brain) or secondary (metastatic, spreading to the brain from cancer elsewhere). They can also ...
