A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be game-changing for treating diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia. For decades ...

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 ...

The brain’s ability to do everything from forming memories to coordinating movement relies on its cells producing the right proteins at the right time. But directly measuring this protein production, ...

For decades, neuroscientists focused almost exclusively on only half of the cells in the brain. Neurons were the main players, they thought, and everything else was made up of uninteresting support ...

A new study suggests temporal lobe epilepsy may be linked to early aging of certain brain cells. When researchers removed these aging cells in mice, seizures dropped, memory improved, and some animals ...

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can restore the ability of neural stem cells to regenerate, even when age-related ...
