A newly discovered mechanism that protects nerve cells could have important implications for understanding and treating mental illness.

Researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have identified laminin-411 and A4G47, a synthetic peptide derived from the E8 domain of laminin-411 protein, as the key factors in the maturation of ...

Scientists showed that a mutation in animals that live at high altitude promotes myelin regeneration, informing potential new ...

Identifying the root of any given disease is often the first step in developing effective therapies. Neurodegenerative diseases are notoriously difficult to study and treat. Conditions like multiple ...

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hesperos, a leader in recreating human biology with its’ Human-on-a-Chip ® platform, has announced a breakthrough development of a human induced pluripotent stem cell ...

A single brain is unfathomably complex. So brain researchers, whether they're looking at datasets built from 300,000 neurons in 81 mice or from MRIs of 1,200 young adults, are now dealing with so much ...

A new study from Spain reveals that babies born to mothers exposed to higher air pollution levels in pregnancy show signs of slower brain myelination, a subtle but telling shift in how early brain ...

Scientists have identified a genetic mutation that helps protect the brain function of animals that live in high-altitude, low-oxygen environments... | Genetics And Genomics ...

The genetic mutation that enables yaks to live in environments with much less oxygen, and may hold the key to repairing nerve damage ...

Scientists have found that the process of adaptive myelination, which helps the brain learn new skills, can also promote addiction to opioids. Our brains, even in adulthood, continually adapt to what ...
