Scientists in Canada have uncovered a surprising weakness in glioblastoma, one of the deadliest brain cancers. They found ...

What is the Cnpy1 protein? New research reveals how the Canopy1 protein allows vomeronasal neurons to survive high ER-stress.

After a decade-long quest to fill a major gap in basic biology, UChicago scientists have built a complete map of how cells ...

A newly identified protein pair may drive brain cell death in Alzheimer’s, offering a clearer explanation of how the disease progresses.

Researchers found that FcγR signaling in microglia may drive neuron loss in Parkinson’s disease models. Blocking FcγR ...

Wildfire smoke is more than just the scent of burning wood, it’s a complex, shifting mix of thousands of gases and particles.

Can we regrow damaged nerves? A new study identifies the AHR protein as the switch that limits axon regeneration.

Your brain’s “stop eating” signal may come from an unexpected source. Researchers found that astrocytes—once thought to just support neurons—actually play a key role in controlling appetite. After a ...

When the stomach is full, how does the brain know to stop eating? Scientists long assumed the answer lies mainly with neurons ...

When AHR is turned off, neurons shift priorities. They increase protein production and activate pathways that support axon growth. The team also found that this regenerative response depends on ...

Researchers believe that our repetitive thought patterns can lead to negative fixations, but psychedelics could break the ...
