This explainer outlines how neurons and glial cells coordinate electrical and chemical signals to form complex brain networks ...

Live human brain slices show that only a razor‑thin balance of amyloid beta keeps synapses safe. Any disruption, even slight, ...

Cortical Labs out of Melbourne, Australia has created the CL1, the "world’s first code deployable biological computer" that ...

A new study shows that inserting human DNA into mice grow bigger brains, offering clues to human brain evolution.

The slice of code — a stretch of DNA that acts like a dial to turn up the expression of certain genes — expanded the outer ...

But sometimes it triggers severe, even fatal disease by chewing ulcers in the colon, liquefying parts of the liver and invading the brain and lungs. “It can kill anything you throw at it, any kind of ...

It also efficiently transduces neurons in cortical regions of the brain that are implicated in many diseases. Robust transduction of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived human neurons and ...
