A newly identified molecule called OLE helped restore the brain’s immune cells to a more protective state in Alzheimer’s ...

Researchers have successfully demonstrated how astroglia—cells that support the functioning of the brain—can be reprogrammed into cells resembling interneurons. The research, published in Science ...

Promising mouse studies and billions of dollars in funding are stoking excitement. But we’ve been here before.

Have you ever given much thought to the subconscious mind? Until recently, I hadn’t. I thought it was a Freudian concept, or something nebulous to do with dreams. Now, my wellness-skewed algorithm ...

A mechanism underlying neutrophil reprogramming in brain cancers has been uncovered, illuminating potential therapeutic targets to stop their pro-cancer effect. Tumor-infiltrating neutrophils are ...

A team led by researcher José Vicente Sánchez Mut at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish ...

The lab of Filippo Veglia, Ph.D., at The Wistar Institute has discovered a previously unknown mechanism for how aggressive brain cancers reprogram immune system cells from fighting cancer to enabling ...

When a neuron ages, it loses synaptic connections with other neurons, it is less able to transmit nerve impulses, and its metabolism is also altered. This process of neuronal ageing — inevitable with ...

To many, the human mind is an untapped resource of potential that many do not utilize. However, the mind can also present some of the most pressing limitations on the brain and body as well. Jim ...

Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their ...

Scientists reprogram brain immune cells to fight Alzheimer's: Study ...

A newly discovered molecule, OLE, restored the brain’s immune cells to a more protective state in Alzheimer’s disease models. The treatment reduced the accumulation of toxic plaques and improved ...
