Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell ...

Assistant Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Tal Sharf's lab used organoids to make fundamental discoveries about human ...

The same brain cells linked to disorientation in Alzheimer's disease have been preserved—and even slightly increased—across ...

The human brain is not a hard-wired machine but a malleable organ that is regularly re-shaping itself. Neuroscientists at the ...

It’s been hard for the neuroscience community to take a step back from this old school interpretation that the brain is this ...

Researchers have created functional brain-like tissue without relying on any animal-derived materials, marking a major step toward more ethical and reproducible neurological research.

New research using human brain organoids shows that early neural activity follows structured, time-based patterns long before sensory experience begins.

During the early thirties, the brain’s wiring pattern moves into what the researchers describe as the adult mode. This adult ...

UCR scientists create a fully synthetic model for growing brain cells that could allow for animal-free drug testing.

When you see a bag of carrots at the grocery store, does your mind go to potatoes and parsnips or buffalo wings and celery? It depends, of course, on whether you're making a hearty winter stew or ...

Diesel exhaust particles can disturb the function of human brain immune cells, known as microglia, according to a recent ...
