A team has identified an experimental molecule capable of "reprogramming" the brain's immune cells to restore part of their ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

Researchers have successfully demonstrated how astroglia—cells that support the functioning of the brain—can be reprogrammed into cells resembling interneurons. The research, published in Science ...

The lab of Filippo Veglia, Ph.D., at The Wistar Institute has discovered a previously unknown mechanism for how aggressive brain cancers reprogram immune system cells from fighting cancer to enabling ...

A mechanism underlying neutrophil reprogramming in brain cancers has been uncovered, illuminating potential therapeutic targets to stop their pro-cancer effect. Tumor-infiltrating neutrophils are ...

A team at Texas A&M University has shown that tiny biological particles, sprayed into the noses of aged mice, can quiet the ...

One reason that chronic pain, mental or physical is consistently solvable is the brain’s property of neuroplasticity. Your brain physically constantly changes based on the nature of the sensory input.

Scientists at the University of Cambridge believe they may have discovered a surprising new way to slow the spread of brain cancer. Instead of targeting cancer cells directly, their research suggests ...

What if the early childhood social and emotional programming that got downloaded into your brain is not helping you? Are you simply out of luck? The new science of epigenetics paints a radically ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...
