The brains of humans and other mammals contain a vast array of neuronal and non-neuronal cell types. The human capacity to process information into complex emotions, behaviours and decisions relies on ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

When probes are inserted into the brain for research or clinical purposes, the electrical activity of neurons is recorded. These signals can be used to understand how the brain performs certain ...

In a demonstration that could help pave the way for gene therapies with fewer side effects, several human cell types have been genetically modified with protein nanoparticles designed at University of ...

Research reveals why Alzheimer’s brain damage doesn’t always lead to dementia, highlighting the role of protective brain ...

Nanoparticles could enable gene therapies for cancer and genetic disease that don't use modified viruses, which may cause new forms of cancer or dangerous immune system reactions in some patients.
