The findings of two recent studies give hope that the disease could one day be reversed in humans—but experts warn that this ...

Microglia replacement therapy helps treat people with a rare genetic condition called ALSP, suggesting the approach could ...

Adult-onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (ALSP) is a progressive neurological disease with an ...

UC San Diego scientists have created a gene therapy that goes beyond masking Alzheimer’s symptoms—it may actually restore ...

Science Mice implanted with human brain cells become smarter Implanting mice with human astrocytes makes them demonstrably more intelligent than their non-human-hybrid peers.

An experimental cancer drug that helps the brain turn glucose into energy was able to reverse memory loss in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.

Researchers reported in the journal Nature Metabolism on Thursday that they’ve been able to send mice into a torpor-like state by targeting a specific part of the brain with short bursts of ...

In recent experiments, rat brain cells filled in for lost neurons in mouse brains, raising new possibilities for growing donor tissues across species.

For the first time, however, experts succeeded in visually tracking the movement of microplastics through brain blood vessels in mice—and the pile-ups resembled a microscopic “car crash.” ...

By tracking microplastics in the brains of mice, the team found they damaged the brain’s immune cells. These protective cells accumulated microplastics, instead of digesting them, and then the damaged ...

In addition to improving memory in the aged mice, the lymphatic vessel-boosting treatment also caused levels of IL-6 to drop, restoring the noise-canceling system of the brain.
