Can immune cells protect your brain? Yes! Tregs act as gatekeepers, controlling inflammation and supporting memory formation ...

A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease.

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...

Ncardia’s iPSC-derived microglia may aid ALS research and help to screen new therapies that target inflammation in ALS.

Immune cells called regulatory ... Do Tregs in human brains play a role in curbing the inflammation that drives these ...

It feels like the Splinter Cell remake has been on its way for a while now, which isn't helped by the fact it's been over three years since we heard anything official about the game. From what we ...

Myelin is an insulating layer of lipids and proteins surrounding nerves. Myelin damage can cause problems with the nerves’ ability to send and receive electrical messages. Inflammatory disorders ...
