Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...

Neural organoids have been heralded as having huge potential for advancing our knowledge of the brain in several fields.

The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. Different parts of the brain perform a variety of functions, all of ...

TalTech scientists in collaboration with researchers from Rockefeller University have described a mechanism that acts like a ...

Neuronal calcium sensors (NCS) comprise a pivotal family of EF‐hand calcium‐binding proteins that translate transient fluctuations in intracellular Ca²⁺ into specific cellular responses. These ...

A team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst is the first to show how proteins called "chaperones" are vital in ensuring that neurons can transmit signals to one another. When ...

A clearance mechanism involving microglia has been known to relieve neurons of toxic protein aggregates such as those associated with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Unfortunately, this ...

Peer-reviewed publication validates the potential of Itay&Beyond's human CNS platform for advanced disease stratification, ...

The brain is probably the least explored organ, much of which is due to the difficulty of studying it in situ rather than in slices under a microscope. Even growing small organoids out of neurons ...

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning systems has increased the demand for new hardware components that could speed up data analysis while consuming less power. As ...

A new study is illuminating how “forever chemicals” can alter our brain cells by impairing the genes that maintain healthy neurons, the cells of our nervous system. Scientists are only beginning to ...
