Scientists have identified damaged brain “cleanup” cells called tanycytes as a possible reason toxic tau builds up in Alzheimer’s disease.
Accumulation of the protein tau in the brain is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. In a paper published in Cell ...
A group of specialized cells play a crucial part in clearing toxic proteins from inside the brain 1. But in people with Alzheimer’s disease, these cells malfunction, leading to the build up of tau ...
A team led by Professor Inkyung Jung from the Department of Biological Sciences at KAIST, working with Professor Yarui Diao’s group, has published a new single-cell method called scHiCAR that ...
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 ...
A major neuroscience breakthrough has been achieved with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithm. In a study published this month in Cell, a multinational team of ...
Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when lysosomes, the cellular sanitation machines responsible for those tasks, break down or ...
A Japanese research team has demonstrated in rat experiments that stem cells from human primary tooth pulp may help treat ...
A newly discovered biological chain reaction explains how high levels of a common brain chemical can lead to cellular ...
