NeuroDex is developing a blood-based biomarker research platform designed to study molecular signals associated with ...

Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly ...

Researchers at King's College London have identified the biological nature and timing of changes in human cortical neurons ...

Leuven, 7 August 2024—The mechanisms underlying intellectual disabilities or autism remain largely unknown. Researchers in the labs of Prof. Pierre Vanderhaeghen and Prof. Vincent Bonin at the VIB-KU ...

In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic progenitor that gives rise to dopaminergic neurons, the primary neurons affected ...

Study reveals how proteins direct nerve cell precursors to turn into specialized neurons. Brain development is a highly orchestrated process involving numerous parallel and sequential steps. Many of ...

A protein called torsinA plays a key role in the early development of neurons, determining where nuclear pores are placed in the membrane that encloses the nucleus of nerve cells, a study led by UT ...

Scientists at the Center for Developmental Neurobiology and MRC Center for Neurodevelopmental Disorders published a study titled "Somatostatin interneurons control the timing of developmental ...

To better model how neurons fire and interact with glia, some scientists place the cells into a brain or grow them in an organoid. Others have produced little spheres of human neural tissue by ...

Regular activity not only strengthens muscles but can bolster our bones, blood vessels, and immune system. MIT engineers have now found that exercise can also have benefits at the level of individual ...
