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 ...

Whether or not we grow new brain cells as adults has been the subject of an ongoing and often contentious debate. Now, evidence suggests that we can. This could help answer one of neuroscience’s most ...

Scientists have found that blocking microglia (specialist immune cells in the brain) prevents infant forgetting ("infantile ...

Optogenetics has long been a powerful experimental tool, but a growing body of research suggests it may now be approaching a ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

Scientists are unraveling the role of senescent cells in a common form of epilepsy, and it could point to new treatments.

ETH Zurich researchers have developed a model that explains how nerve cells in the brain connect during development. Their model reveals that the crucial factor is progressive cell division. This ...
