Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have shown that a small chemical compound can restore the cellular waste-disposal system in lab-grown neurons from patients with ...

This bioengineering breakthrough has found a way to make neurons grown in a dish react just like the real thing. "Neurons that fire together, wire together" describes the neural plasticity seen in ...

Researchers have used microRNA-based direct reprogramming to generate neurons from fibroblasts, providing new insights into late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Aging is the most significant risk factor ...

The spread of tau protein aggregates in the brain—a process that drives cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia—has been studied with a model that incorporates human ...
