Scientists reprogram brain immune cells to fight Alzheimer's: Study ...

Researchers have successfully demonstrated how astroglia—cells that support the functioning of the brain—can be reprogrammed into cells resembling interneurons. The research, published in Science ...

How a Bay Area tech entrepreneur, the Allen Institute, the Bezos family and others are targeting neurodegenerative diseases ...

The world's first human trial of whether a drug can essentially make a person's cells younger sets up a reality check for one ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

Researchers have used gene therapy to partially reprogram the brain cells that store memories in aging mice, reversing signs of cellular decline and restoring learning ability. The technique, ...

A mechanism underlying neutrophil reprogramming in brain cancers has been uncovered, illuminating potential therapeutic targets to stop their pro-cancer effect. Tumor-infiltrating neutrophils are ...

A newly identified molecule called OLE helped restore the brain’s immune cells to a more protective state in Alzheimer’s ...
