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 ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Experts across many fields recognise that it’s important for our health and happiness to excavate and reshape our subconscious to ...

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.

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 human body is an assemblage of systems that have a surprising degree of autonomy, and are all busy managing various aspects of our mental and physical lives. Nonetheless, they do communicate with ...

In the field of neuro-oncology, the dual topics of cellular metabolism and the tumor microenvironment (TME) have gained ...

Researchers have defined a new genetic disease caused by a mutation in the IVNS1ABP gene. The condition marks a rare ...

It sounds like science fiction. Scientists take ordinary skin or blood cells, rewind them to a stem-cell state, then reprogram them into a kind of youthful immune cell. They then inject these into an ...

When a neuron ages, it loses synaptic connections with other neurons, it is less able to transmit nerve impulses, and its metabolism is also altered. This process of neuronal ageing — inevitable with ...
