In a key advance for regenerative medicine and gut health, scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have uncovered a precise and ...

When a person reaches across a table to pass the salt, their brain is doing something far more complex than recognizing a request and executing a movement.

Can we regrow damaged nerves? A new study identifies the AHR protein as the switch that limits axon regeneration.

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

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 ...

Alzheimer's is a devastating disease that results in memory loss and cognitive decline. It's caused by brain cells dying and the brain itself shrinking from a buildup of proteins. Millions of seniors ...

Researchers have identified distinct molecular pathways that explain why cold feels different depending on where the body ...
