A new understanding of how tumours exploit our nervous system is leading to new ways to treat cancer using familiar drugs ...

Stanford researchers discovered that dialing down an overactive enzyme, LRRK2, can regrow lost cellular “antennae” in key ...

Researchers have now shown that, despite individual differences in neuron activity, a shared underlying structure guides the ...

With the aid of a 3D printer, researchers at Uppsala University have succeeded in creating a model that resembles human nerve tissue.

Motor neurons are nerve cells that control our muscles by sending signals from the brain and spinal cord out to the body. In diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), these cells are ...

Every decision begins invisibly. Long before someone acts, the brain is already hard at work gathering evidence, weighing ...

Putting the brakes on an enzyme might rescue neurons that are dying in Parkinson's disease, stabilizing the progression of ...

D printers can be used to make organoids from a patient's cells that resemble human nerve tissue to test new amyotrophic lateral sclerosis treatments.

With the aid of a 3D printer, researchers at Uppsala University have succeeded in creating a model that resembles human nerve tissue. The model, which can be cultured from the patient’s own ...

"It's important for research and drug testing to be able to print a large number of organoids in a reproducible way. Our method also makes it possible to include other types of nerve cells ...

Antidepressants have strong impact on male brains — with the nature of the impact depending on the age of the subject — but ...
