The origin of many diseases begins at the cellular level and involves multiple molecular interactions. However, previous methods have struggled to accurately observe changes in individual cells.

Researchers profiled nearly 7 million individual cells from mice, identifying which cells are most vulnerable to aging and ...

Explore the latest findings in autism research that highlight the importance of brain tissue for understanding neurodevelopmental conditions.

Researchers found three master genes that alter brain development in Down syndrome, offering new clues about learning and memory differences.

The spacing, timing, and shape matched patterns usually found in animals with left and right sides. The process raised a question. Why would a sea anemone use what looked like a tool common in far ...

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

A thin, wireless brain implant with 65,000+ sensors maps vision, touch, and movement from the brain’s surface, promising gentler, high‑resolution neural interfaces.

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

IF TIMING IS everything, then Thomas Hartung picked a bad moment to make his move. Dr Hartung is an environmental toxicologist at Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore, who has spent his career ...

Researchers have built a realistic human mini spinal cord in the lab and used it to simulate traumatic injury. The model reproduced key damage seen in real spinal cord injuries, including inflammation ...

Last week, the Trump administration announced it was banning the use of human fetal tissue from some abortions in federally funded medical research. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) said the ...
