Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...

Neural organoids have been heralded as having huge potential for advancing our knowledge of the brain in several fields.

The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. Different parts of the brain perform a variety of functions, all of ...

Peer-reviewed publication validates the potential of Itay&Beyond's human CNS platform for advanced disease stratification, translational ...

TalTech scientists in collaboration with researchers from Rockefeller University have described a mechanism that acts like a ...

How does APOE4 cause Alzheimer's? A new study identifies the Nell2 protein as the driver of neuron shrinkage and brain ...

Neuronal calcium sensors (NCS) comprise a pivotal family of EF‐hand calcium‐binding proteins that translate transient fluctuations in intracellular Ca²⁺ into specific cellular responses. These ...

A team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst is the first to show how proteins called "chaperones" are vital in ensuring that neurons can transmit signals to one another. When ...

A clearance mechanism involving microglia has been known to relieve neurons of toxic protein aggregates such as those associated with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Unfortunately, this ...

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning systems has increased the demand for new hardware components that could speed up data analysis while consuming less power. As ...
