Interrupting signals exchanged between tumors and the nervous system could become a critical pillar of cancer care ...

Scientists have discovered that neural stem cells (NSCs) receive constant feedback from their daughter cells, influencing whether they remain dormant or activate to form new neurons and glia.

A new study published in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity has found that inflammation in a key memory center of the brain can ...

Small-molecule activators and inhibitors support a model in which S1P signaling must be inhibited to generate Müller glial progenitor cells-a key step in retinal regeneration. The presented results ...

This important study identifies a new key factor in orchestrating the process of glial wrapping of axons in Drosophila wandering larvae. The evidence supporting the claims of the authors is convincing ...

A University of Ottawa neuroscientist has led a Canadian research team to reveal important new insights into the activation ...

Feb. 4, 2025 — Research has shown that a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumor cells in preclinical models tested in mice. The ...

Many cells in multicellular organisms are specialised. They have specific roles in the organism of which they are part. Their structure is adapted to their function. They are often grouped ...

Oxide-ion conductors are important energy materials. Here, the authors found a tellurite-based oxygen ion conductor highlighting the interplay of secondary bond interactions and Grotthuss-like ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste ...

Feb. 11, 2025 — A complementary drug to combat Alzheimer's disease could target a specific part of the nerve cell protein tau. This is the finding of new research which also offers a better way ...
