The study was published in Advanced Functional Materials and featured on its cover. The researchers fabricated nanoscale ...

From random growth to ordered networks To test the model, the researchers grew three different types of neuronal cells, derived either from mouse brain tissue or from human stem cells, on the ...

Previous attempts at obtaining pure neuronal cultures required the use ... consisting of colony growth on feeder cells, culture as a flat monolayer during which growth must be carefully monitored ...

Scientists have uncovered the intricate circuit cues behind neuronal cell maturation and migration, which is required for proper cognitive function. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a ...

Researchers use human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived models to create genetically accurate disease models for which genotype and phenotype are closely matched. However, this process can ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial neuron could boost high-speed computing and artificial intelligence (AI ...

Pancreas cells may produce a protein that can protect the brain from Alzheimer's disease. In individuals with Alzheimer's disease, a peptide known as amyloid-β accumulates and forms tangled plaques.

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, and ...
