Neurofibrillary tangles mark Alzheimer’s disease and a plethora of primary tauopathies. How best to study them in the lab? Most mouse tauopathy models overexpress the human tau protein and are highly ...

The uncinate fasciculus is a major white matter pathway involved in memory, emotion, and language, but its microscopic ...

Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the first time, scientists have produced detailed maps of these fiber webs across ...

In this Innovation Spotlight, Treutlein shares her excitement of using organoids to model the human brain, harnessing AI to accelerate laboratory discoveries, and discusses how massive-scale ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

Looking ahead: Every year, tens of thousands of Americans receive organ transplants, yet demand still outstrips supply. Now, a research team at Carnegie Mellon University believes the way out of that ...

For decades, lab-grown cells have been studied in materials that don't reflect the softness and flexibility of human tissue. Now researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a ...

Osaka, Japan – Most computers run on microchips, but what if we’ve been overlooking a simpler, more elegant computational tool all this time? In fact, what if we were the computational tool? As crazy ...

The visible effects of ageing on our body are in part linked to invisible changes in gene activity. The epigenetic process of DNA methylation — the addition or removal of tags called methyl groups — ...
