Think learning and memory are all the job of the brain? You might want to think again, if the results of a recent study are to be believed. In a first, scientists at New York University (NYU) ...

Scientists at Cincinnati Children's have identified how certain immune cells are molecularly programmed to respond faster when the body encounters a familiar threat, shedding light on immune memory ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

How does Alzheimer’s target specific brain cells? Researchers are building a multiscale model of the hippocampus to map neuronal loss and cognitive decline.

A new study found that eighty-year-olds with particularly sharp memory have a significantly higher number of young nerve ...

Microscopy images of antigen-inexperienced (‘naïve’) mouse CD8 T cells (green). A subset of these cells expresses Dapl1 protein (red), identifying a population committed to a memory stem-like lineage.

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

A groundbreaking study shows that two repurposed cancer drugs, when combined, can correct complex brain cell dysfunction and restore memory in Alzheimer’s mouse models, offering hope for new ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...
