Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

A Swedish startup aims to dominate stem cell production while nanotechnology is helping to transform cancer care. What does ...

Researchers have made great strides to understand early signs of autism. Studies have found that certain factors like genetics, sleep deprivation, excess fluid in the brain-and brain size-can increase ...

Three right-leaning organizations this month released model state legislation intended to reduce “taxpayer funding for intellectually unserious ‘research’ projects of activist academics” at public ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a natural mechanism that clears existing amyloid plaques in the brains of mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease and preserves cognitive function ...

It used to be thought that sea urchins only had a primitive nervous system, but new research has found that they are far more complex than that. The entire body of a sea urchin is what researchers are ...

For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

Like the seeds of a forest, a few cells in embryos eventually sprout into an ecosystem of brain cells. Neurons get the most recognition for their computing power. But a host of other cells provides ...

Flight cuts to hit 40 busiest U.S. airports due to government shutdown, computer chips in our bodies could be the future of medicine, and more Length: Long Speed: 1.0x It's been a long time since ...
