Researchers have successfully demonstrated how astroglia—cells that support the functioning of the brain—can be reprogrammed into cells resembling interneurons. The research, published in Science ...
Blindness itself might become, at least in certain cases, partially reversible. This potential future stems from one of the ...
A mechanism underlying neutrophil reprogramming in brain cancers has been uncovered, illuminating potential therapeutic targets to stop their pro-cancer effect. Tumor-infiltrating neutrophils are ...
Scientists at MD Anderson Cancer Center have revealed how ATRX mutations restructure chromatin and activate oncogenic ...
The lab of Filippo Veglia, Ph.D., at The Wistar Institute has discovered a previously unknown mechanism for how aggressive brain cancers reprogram immune system cells from fighting cancer to enabling ...
Promising mouse studies and billions of dollars in funding are stoking excitement. But we’ve been here before.
When a neuron ages, it loses synaptic connections with other neurons, it is less able to transmit nerve impulses, and its metabolism is also altered. This process of neuronal ageing — inevitable with ...
A team led by researcher José Vicente Sánchez Mut at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish ...
Scientists reprogram brain immune cells to fight Alzheimer's: Study ...
A newly discovered molecule, OLE, restored the brain’s immune cells to a more protective state in Alzheimer’s disease models. The treatment reduced the accumulation of toxic plaques and improved ...
