A newly discovered molecule, OLE, restored the brain's immune cells to a more protective state in Alzheimer's disease models.

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 ...

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 used gene therapy to partially reprogram the brain cells that store memories in aging mice, reversing signs of cellular decline and restoring learning ability. The technique, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists at MD Anderson Cancer Center have revealed how ATRX mutations restructure chromatin and activate oncogenic ...

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 ...

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 ...
