Sphere of Influence. In iAssembloids, microglia (red) form projections (white arrows), while astrocytes (green) assume star shapes typically found in the brain. [Courtesy of Kampmann et al., 2025.] ...

Individual cells in the brain light up for specific ideas. These concept neurons, once known as “Jennifer Aniston cells,” ...

Imagine using living bacteria to answer mathematical questions or solve problems that a traditional computer would usually handle. It might sound like something out of a tacky sci-fi film, but it’s a ...

Neural ageing is the process by which neural cells in the brain and peripheral nervous system deteriorate structurally and functionally over time. It is associated with a decline in sensory ...

Morphological profiling allows accurate identification of cell types in dense iPSC-derived cultures, allowing its use for quality control and differentiation monitoring.

and kills the cells it has expanded in. “The conundrum in our field has been: Why do you have a genetic disorder that ...

Summary: Researchers have developed a flexible, biodegradable electrode capable of stimulating neural precursor cells (NPCs) in the brain, offering a safer and more precise alternative for neural ...

a team of researchers from the Center for Neural Science at New York University (NYU) published a paper in Nature Communications showing that nerve tissue and kidney tissue cells also store a kind ...

Problems at Ibrox have been consistent for a long time. Looming over all of it is a toxic club culture based on supremacy and hatred. That is where these problems originate, yet it is rarely ...

Since all cells in the body share the same complete genome, including the CREB gene, and this protein is also present in tissues with different functions, Kukushkin and his team decided to investigate ...

Tumor cells circulating in the blood are the germ cells of breast cancer metastases. They are very rare and have not been propagated in the culture dish until now, which made research into therapy ...

After years of controversy, stem cells are on the cusp of cures for conditions like epilepsy and type 1 diabetes. California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, Neurona Therapeutics, Vertex ...
