Weill Cornell Medicine scientists have developed an innovative human neuron model that robustly simulates the spread of tau protein aggregates in the brain—a process that drives cognitive decline in ...

Currently no therapies can stop the spread of tau aggregates in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease. Our human neuron model of tau spread overcomes the limitations of previous models and ...

UMass Amherst engineers create low-voltage artificial neurons using bacterial nanowires, promising efficient bio-inspired ...

Neurons communicate with each other by sending out rapid pulses of electrical signals called spikes. At first glance, the generation of these spikes can be very reliable: when an isolated neuron is ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where she was ...

New research provides a potential brain-based explanation for social touch aversion in some forms of autism. A study published in Nature Communications finds that in a mouse model of Fragile X ...

DelveInsight’s 'Motor Neuron Disease Pipeline Insight 2024' report provides comprehensive global coverage of pipeline motor neuron disease therapies in various stages of clinical development, major ...
