Scientists have discovered a way to help the brain clean itself of harmful Alzheimer’s plaques by activating its own support cells. By increasing a protein called Sox9, researchers were able to boost ...

Glutamine synthetase(GS) acts as a key regular of postnatal brain development, integrating metabolic control via the mTOR pathway to coordinate cell-specific gene expression, protein synthesis,and ...

Past neuroscience studies found that when the central nervous system (CNS) is damaged, for instance following a stroke or spinal cord injuries, the lesions become surrounded by borders of newly ...

Prefer Newsweek on Google to see more of our trusted coverage when you search. Scientists may have uncovered a new mechanism for treating Alzheimer's disease, offering hope to millions of patients ...

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a mental health condition that negatively affects the mood of a person and causes a loss of interest in activities that were previously associated with happiness. In ...

Scientists have discovered a way to activate a built-in brain cleanup system that may help counter Alzheimer’s disease. By ...

Researchers report that neuronal activity is necessary and sufficient for astrocytes to develop their complex shape, and interrupting this developmental process results in disrupted brain function.
