New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...

A team of Canadian scientists has uncovered a new way to slow the growth of glioblastoma, the most aggressive and currently ...

After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, forms an abnormal connection with an enzyme called ClpP. This enzyme normally ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular “traffic cops” known ...

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

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

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