Neurons in the brains of mice tell them to stop eating when they’ve had enough food – and since people probably have the same ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have discovered a novel mechanism involved in brain development. They found that small ...

The research, published Jan. 28 in Science Immunology, shows that these specialized Tregs not only control access to the ...

UCSF scientists have discovered a new type of stem cell that helps young brains grow but is also capable of forming the cells found in tumors. The breakthrough could explain how adult brain cells take ...

Rutgers Health researchers have discovered that brain immune cells from people with a high genetic risk for alcohol use disorder (AUD) behave differently than cells from low-risk people when exposed ...
