Brain damage caused by blocked blood vessels may be treatable using injections of stem cells, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Zurich and the University of Southern ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

In Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, a protein called tau can pile up inside brain cells and form toxic clumps. Those ...

Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across ...

X chromosome reactivation contributes to reducing the signs of disease in the female brain. Female cells have two X ...

A research team revealed that microplastics introduced into the body may bind to proteins in vivo, disrupt the function of brain cells, and act as neurotoxicants. Based on proteomics analysis, the ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have identified a hazardous waste collector in the brain that disposes of the toxic clumps of ...

Here’s what you’ll learn about when you read this story: The blending of biological and artificial “computing” is a topic that stretches back to the 1940s and 50s. Now, Cortical Labs has successfully ...
