Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

Explore the connection between neurodegeneration and cellular senescence in understanding brain structure and ageing.

Findings from the Living Brain Project reveal how senescence processes involved in early brain development may also shape brain aging ...

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the ...

Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can continue to develop new brain cells into old age. Researchers at Sweden’s ...

Researchers discovered a feedback loop between nerve cells, the immune system and the heart. They think it shows promise as a ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...

A new treatment for one type of Parkinson's disease may be on the horizon after researchers discovered a "brake" that can halt cell death. The study, led by researchers from Stanford University, ...

Canadian researchers show that stress modifies the morphology of brain cells in mice, directly influencing the rodents' level of physical activity. Astrocytes in the lateral hypothalamus region of the ...

Look around, and you'll see it everywhere: the way trees form branches, the way cities divide into neighborhoods, the way the ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational har ...
