Two new lines of brain research are testing whether aging cells can be nudged into working more like young ones. In one study ...

A pioneering clinical trial is exploring whether lab-engineered stem cells can restore dopamine production in people with Parkinson’s disease.

Through a combination of human NSC analysis in the lab and mouse model experiments, the researchers singled out a protein ...

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can ...

Every year, around 15 million babies worldwide are born before 37 weeks of gestation. Being born preterm can disrupt development, and earlier births increase the risk of life-changing health outcomes.

To consolidate memories, our brains replay them during periods of rest as a kind of 'replay mode'. A new mouse study suggests ...

Detailed mapping of 1.2 million brain cells has revealed that not all cell types age in the same way and that some – found in a specific ‘hot spot’ – are more sensitive to the aging process. It opens ...
