New treatments for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and motor neuron disease (MND) could be unlocked thanks to microscopic medicines developed by researchers at the University ...

Scientists have successfully connected living human brain cells to a computer system and taught them to interact with the classic video game DOOM. The strange experiment marks a new step toward ...

Scientists placed 200,000 living human brain cells on a microchip and taught it how to play a doomsday video game — and are now using the dystopian tech to power AI data centers. Australian biotech ...

Engineers at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst have developed an artificial neuron like no other. In experiments, their newly created model was able to directly communicate with a biological ...

To better model how neurons fire and interact with glia, some scientists place the cells into a brain or grow them in an organoid. Others have produced little spheres of human neural tissue by ...

In a potentially major breakthrough for regenerative medicine, scientists at MIT have developed a way to convert skin cells directly into brain cells extremely efficiently, without needing to go ...

Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be utilized to study complex health conditions in in vitro platforms relevant to humans. It is possible to reprogram human iPSC lines from patient ...

A progenitor-derived corticospinal-like neuron in cell culture, extending its long axon, even in isolation. The cell body (or "soma"; immunolabeled by Tuj1 antibody in red) is at the top, with the ...

Nivedita Pujari, a postdoctoral researcher at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, studies how herpes simplex virus uses ...

Breakthrough research from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine is revealing how immune cells in the adult brain can regulate the generation of new neurons. The study, recently published ...
