MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

“This is a paradigm shift,” says Donn Van Deren, PhD, postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, who ...

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...

Study finds ultrathin tubes connecting brain cells that transport Alzheimer's proteins. The network changes months before plaques appear.

MIT researchers say they've developed microscopic "circulatronics" technology that could one day provide noninvasive brain ...

The image shows an α-synuclein oligomer (blue) partially inserted into a cell membrane (left). Over time, it forms a pore (right) that allows molecules to pass through for a short period. The oligomer ...

A team of scientists at the University of California, Riverside, explains in a paper published in PLOS Pathogens how a microscopic parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, can significantly disrupt brain function ...

TWO emerging nano-electronic technologies — one resting on the brain’s surface, the other navigating to it through the ...

A microscopic flaw in the brain’s cellular scaffolding can shape brain size for life.

Learn more about the “glue sniffer” protein, which is able to detect brain cells’ incoming chemical signals, and what that ...
