Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

UCR scientists create a fully synthetic model for growing brain cells that could allow for animal-free drug testing.

Slicing up and analyzing real, living, three-dimensional brain tissue comes with some obvious complications – as in, it tends ...

Researchers have now discovered that HAR123, a regulatory gene sequence, is an important factor in human brain development. Even though humans are closely related to chimps, the slight differences in ...

Using an ultra-high-resolution imaging technology called 7 Tesla functional MRI (fMRI) on human participants, researchers have mapped how different parts of the brain work together. Specifically, they ...

US brain-computer-interface startup Paradromics is quickly establishing itself as a major player in the neural-device space, ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear and watery liquid that flows in and around the brain and spinal cord. Its functions ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

A new study reversed transplant rejection twice, uncovering the reasons for transplant rejection on a cellular level ...
