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.

MIT scientists have developed a new 3D human brain tissue model that could change how researchers study neurological diseases ...

Bridging that gap means combining insights from single-cell studies in animals, human brain imaging, and behavior. Now, a new kind of computer model-grounded in real biology-lets researchers simulate ...

Wiring up the brain's trillions of circuit connections is an enormous job performed by a huge crew of molecules. Among the less understood members are circular RNAs, transcripts from DNA that assume a ...

Abstract: Brain lesion segmentation is crucial for neurological disease research and diagnosis. As different types of lesions exhibit distinct characteristics on different imaging modalities, ...

A team of scientists at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) has published new evidence suggesting that the brain's protective shield—known as the blood-brain barrier (BBB)—remains ...

A TTUHSC research team published new evidence suggesting that the blood-brain barrier (BBB) remains largely intact in a commonly used mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. Ehsan Nozohouri (seated), a ...

The authors survey the ultrastructural organization of glutamatergic synapses by cryo-ET and image processing tools using two complementary experimental approaches. The first approach employs ...

A collaborative French-Swiss study reveals a previously unknown role for astrocytes in the brain's information processing. Published in the journal Cell, the research shows that these glial cells are ...
