Cellular senescence is commonly defined as a state characterized by permanent cell cycle arrest in the absence of cell death, in which cells have altered function. While cellular senescence has been ...

Scientists have found a way to stop brain cancer cells spreading by essentially 'freezing' a key molecule in the brain. The finding could pave the way for a new type of treatment for glioblastoma, the ...

Researchers discovered that variations in kinesin motor proteins control selective cargo transport in neurons, enabling ...

Northwestern University engineers printed artificial neurons that don't just imitate the brain—they talk to it. In a new ...

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 ...

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 ...

A study published in Nature Aging by teams at Stanford University and Nanyang Technological University followed 108 adults ...
