The neuron’s inner scaffold, once viewed as static support, now looks like a gatekeeper. Research findings are available ...

A novel method to manipulate the inner structure of cells connects several scientific fields and could represent a ...

Some brain cells can resist the toxic processes associated with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Scientists have now identified the "cellular hazmat team" that keeps neurons healthy.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — A Texas A&M University researcher received a multi-million-dollar grant to advance brain cell ...

Scientists may have stumbled across a network of vessels in the brain that helps clear out waste fluid – a discovery that could "represent a paradigm shift in our understanding of all neurodegenerativ ...

Researchers show sleep protects neuronal mitochondria by transferring oxidative lipid damage to glial and blood cells. The ...

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them—signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces—in a process known as endocytosis that is essential ...

Work smarter not harder.

Imagine balancing a ruler vertically in the palm of your hand: you have to constantly pay attention to the angle of the ruler ...

Scientists have identified nanoscale lymphatic-like vessels - a network that may help explain how fluids and waste move through brain tissue.

New research finds that sleep is essential for protecting brain mitochondria by transferring toxic metabolic waste from neurons to glial cells for disposal.
