Scientists revealed how the protein can be used to rejuvenates neural stem cells. Scientists have discovered a protein that ...

A decline in the expression of the epigenetic regulator Setd8 in neural stem cells (NSCs) during early adulthood leads to chromatin condensation and reduced gene expression, suppressing NSC ...

Many people’s brains deteriorate as they age, becoming riddled with malfunctioning proteins that result in cell death and the ...

The promise of reclaiming youthful cognitive function has long been a holy grail for neuroscientists, but researchers may have just uncovered a critical microscopic switch that dictates how well our ...

Age often brings a gradual decline in the ability to learn new things and retain memories. This phenomenon, often associated with the elderly, is linked to the brain's deteriorating capacity to ...

Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows ...

Researchers used single-nucleus RNA sequencing and chromatin accessibility profiling to map human hippocampal neurogenesis across adulthood, aging, and Alzheimer’s disease. They found that chromatin ...

Aging doesn’t have to mean losing your past. Scientists have found a way to "reprogram" specific memory-holding neurons, ...

For much of the 20th century it was thought that the adult brain was incapable of regeneration. This view has since shifted dramatically and neurogenesis – the birth of new neurons – is now a widely ...
