The brain is the body's command center, and neurons are the workhorses that carry out its commands. They transmit signals ...
The brain contains many cell types, from the prominent neurons to the lesser-known microglia. The latter are integral to the brain's immune system and play a crucial role as the brain's cleanup crew.
Researchers developed SynTrogo, a molecular tool enabling targeted synapse removal via engineered neuron–astrocyte ...
TalTech scientists in collaboration with researchers from Rockefeller University have described a mechanism that acts like a ...
New research suggests that tubulin may help prevent the toxic protein clumps associated with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
A clearance mechanism involving microglia has been known to relieve neurons of toxic protein aggregates such as those associated with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Unfortunately, this ...
