Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have identified a mechanism that protects the female ...

Catherine O'Hara's heart and organs were a mirror image of most people's. Though that is rare, congenital heart defects are ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

Stress during pregnancy such as gut changes or a trigger of the immune system can impact the brain health of the foetus, potentially paving way ...

Explore the connection between neurodegeneration and cellular senescence in understanding brain structure and ageing.

During brain development, neurons extend long processes called axons. Axons link different areas of the brain and carry signals within it and to the rest of the body. Growing axons "wire up" the brain ...

The maternal microbiome and immune system have both independent and synergistic effects on fetal brain health - changes in the mother’s immune system have been linked to an increased risk of ...

Findings from the Living Brain Project reveal how senescence processes involved in early brain development may also shape brain aging ...

A study by scientists at BRIC-RGCB has shed light on brain development and the maintenance of neural stem cells. In a ...

NIH ends funding for fetal tissue from elective abortions. Scientists say critical research on HIV, cancer and brain ...
