Immunotherapy that blocks microglial Fcγ receptors prevents dopaminergic neuron loss in Parkinson’s disease, revealing a potential new strategy.

Your organs are constantly talking to each other in ways we’re only beginning to understand. Tapping into these communication ...

By analyzing tissue from patients with Parkinson's disease, and animal and cellular models of the disease, a research team ...

For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think.

New research shows how some brain cells fight tau buildup in Alzheimer’s, pointing to internal systems that help neurons survive longer.

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries.

Researchers found a "garbage man" enzyme that tags toxic clumps of proteins in the brain for removal, and saw a correlation ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...
