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

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 ...

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

For some time, we've known that it's rare to see people with both cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Now, scientists believe ...

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

UCLA scientists have developed advanced miniature 3D tumor organoid models that make it possible to study glioblastoma tumors in a setting that closely mirrors the human brain, shedding light on how ...

Researchers have shown in mice that brain cells known as astrocytes are required for a signaling chemical called norepinephrine to modify brain activity, changing the textbook understanding that ...

Imagine your brain as a high-end restaurant. Normally, the kitchen is remarkably efficient: fresh ingredients (proteins) ...

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

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 ...
