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

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and Sanford Burnham Prebys explore genetic factors in separate papers ...

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 ...

Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when lysosomes, the cellular sanitation machines responsible for those tasks, break down or ...

To gain better insight into what's happening in the brain, researchers examine the molecules produced by brain cells, ...

Researchers found that genetic variants linked to type 1 diabetes risk are also active in certain brain cells. The most important signal appeared in microglia, which are the brain’s resident immune ...

You’ve probably heard the old canard that new brain cells simply stop forming as we become adults. But research out today is the latest to show that this isn’t really true. Scientists in Sweden led ...
