AS we age, brain cells face increasing challenges from inflammation, oxidative stress, reduced blood flow, and the buildup of ...

Researchers have discovered that the immune system's T cells can travel to the prostate to provide long-term protection against infections. Their findings suggest we might harness these same ...

A study reveals that T cells can reside in prostate tissue for long periods, adapting to fight infections. These insights ...

All processes such as wound healing, hair growth, and the replacement of old cells with new ones depend on cell division.

To gain better insight into what's happening in the brain, researchers examine the molecules produced by brain cells, ...

Astrocytes, once thought to be mere brain “support cells,” are now revealed to be key players in fear memory. Researchers found they actively help form, recall, and weaken fear responses by ...

A woman with three different autoimmune conditions had all of them treated simultaneously by genetically modifying her immune ...

How does the brain link memory to motivation? A new study reveals that dorsal and ventral hippocampal pathways converge on the same neurons to drive reward-seeking behavior.

How does Alzheimer’s target specific brain cells? Researchers are building a multiscale model of the hippocampus to map neuronal loss and cognitive decline.

With a new model of the brain region essential to memory formation, from cells to whole-brain networks, the team hopes to ...

Researchers at USC have received an NIH grant to develop a new multiscale model of the hippocampus to better understand neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease, aiming to identify specific neuronal ...
