Researchers have used gene therapy to partially reprogram the brain cells that store memories in aging mice, reversing signs ...

After treatment, the mice’s memories were essentially shunted back into a younger state. The researchers found that reprogrammed engrams displayed molecular behavior of more youthful cells. Using a ...

It sounds like science fiction. Scientists take ordinary skin or blood cells, rewind them to a stem-cell state, then reprogram them into a kind of youthful immune cell. They then inject these into an ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

A UCSF team finds a liver protein, released with exercise, that improves memory in aging and Alzheimer’s disease by repairing ...

Scientists at the University of Cambridge believe they may have discovered a surprising new way to slow the spread of brain cancer. Instead of targeting cancer cells directly, their research suggests ...
