In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition in which the body attacks its own insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Some ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells - one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a natural mechanism that clears existing amyloid plaques in the brains of mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease and preserves cognitive function ...

While the world focuses on the power consumption of massive AI data centers, researchers at the University of California, ...

A group of nerve cells essential for cognition may be especially vulnerable to DNA damage upon exposure to inflammation in MS.
