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 ...

A hidden communication network between brain cells and glioblastoma tumors may be key to slowing this aggressive cancer.

Researchers have come up with a clever new way of freezing brain cells just as they fire out a signal, meaning processes that normally happen too quickly to observe can be studied in detail – and ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their behavior.

Researchers at Northwestern University have discovered that the gut microbiome of larger-brained primates, such as humans, ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are observed in no other animal species. For centuries, scientists have been trying ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

Humans possess a remarkable balance between stability and flexibility, enabling them to quickly establish new plans and adjust goals even in the face of sudden changes. However, "Model-Free ...
