Until now, conventional 3D cell cultures have often been either too rigid or too unstable to realistically reproduce the complex interactions between brain cells. Researchers at Kiel University (CAU) ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

A group of specialized cells play a crucial part in clearing toxic proteins from inside the brain 1. But in people with Alzheimer’s disease, these cells malfunction, leading to the build up of tau ...

Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when lysosomes, the cellular sanitation machines responsible for those tasks, break down or ...

Johns Hopkins scientists say they have used 3D imaging, special microscopes and artificial intelligence (AI) programs to construct new maps of mouse brains showing a precise location of more than 10 ...

Accumulation of the protein tau in the brain is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. In a paper published in Cell ...

A new study led by researchers from VIB and KU Leuven shows that immune cells called microglia can actively promote the formation of plaques in Alzheimer's disease, challenging the long-standing view ...

In people destined to get Alzheimer's in their mid-40s, one protein can delay the onset of the disease by about 20 years.
