A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are ...

Characteristics of brain complex structure, classification of biomanufacturing methods, key points of functional reconstruction, and application prospects. Brain, the material foundation of human ...

A new study has pinpointed cells in the brains of mice that have the unique ability to proliferate and may help to repair damaged tissue. Scientists now need to determine if similar cells exist in ...

Neurons are the cells in the brain responsible for sending messages to the rest of the body, and scientists have long thought that they are settled into one subtype once they develop from stem cells, ...

Scientists identified two types of brain cells, neurons and microglia, that are altered in people with depression. Through genomic mapping of post-mortem brain tissue, they found major differences in ...

The brain is like an ecosystem—thousands of different types of cells connect to form one big, interdependent web. And just as biologists document species of plants and animals, neuroscientists have ...

When patients hear the term brain tumor, they tend to assume cancer. But not all brain tumors are malignant in nature. Many are benign, i.e., they do not get transmitted to other locations of the body ...
