A stem-cell-based "organ-on-a-chip" model of ALS mimics early biological changes seen in the degenerative disease.

The researchers developed a model of a primitive human thalamocortical system by maintaining thalamic and cortical cell masses known as organoids in close proximity in a culture dish.

New research has uncovered that neurons store their own glycogen, acting as “backup batteries” to keep the brain functioning ...

Weill Cornell Medicine scientists have developed an innovative human neuron model that robustly simulates the spread of tau protein aggregates in the brain—a process that drives cognitive ...

The study shows the Izhikevich neuron model allows the simulation of both periodic and quasi-periodic responses in neurons at lower computational cost. Studying how brain cells respond to signals ...

A new Yale study has revealed that neurons—the energy-hungry cells that connect and direct activity in the brain—are equipped ...

Scientists have successfully grown over 400 different types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab—a groundbreaking step ...

The use of iPSC-derived neurons to model human diseases like Alzheimer’s has enabled new advances. Nonetheless, a limitation of these cells is that their reprogramming resets epigenetic marks, erasing ...

A new Yale study has revealed that neurons – the energy-hungry cells that connect and direct activity in the brain – are ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have demonstrated that neuron-like cells derived from human stem cells can serve as a model for studying changes in the nervous system associated ...
