The Salk Institute in La Jolla has dropped a massive, cell-by-cell atlas of the aging mouse brain that scientists say could speed research on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The open resource tracks how ...

Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla have created a new tool to better understand how aging ...

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 ...

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years. Though ...

A new single-cell atlas shows how epigenetic changes reshape brain cells during aging, revealing genomic instability, ...

Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...
