Cellular senescence is commonly defined as a state characterized by permanent cell cycle arrest in the absence of cell death, in which cells have altered function. While cellular senescence has been ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

As more labs have adopted this methodology, they’ve created increasingly complex structures, including interconnected systems ...

A study published in Nature Aging by teams at Stanford University and Nanyang Technological University followed 108 adults ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

A hidden waste-removal pathway in the brain has finally been caught in action. Using cutting-edge MRI scans, researchers ...

A new treatment for one type of Parkinson's disease may be on the horizon after researchers discovered a "brake" that can halt cell death. The study, led by researchers from Stanford University, ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells - one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult ...

As I enter deep middle age, parenting two teenagers, I find reading about brain development more interesting. The old-school view of becoming an adult at 18 (or 21) seems simple. The more recent ...

Research into mice from UT Southwestern and other institutions shows brain cells help the body run farther and faster.
