Salk researchers create epigenetic atlas of cell type-specific changes in the aging mouse brain, representing eight different brain regions and 36 different cell types to show clear epigenetic ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) belong to a spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases with overlapping symptoms, characterized by muscle wasting, paralysis, dementia ...

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.

A group of specialized cells play a crucial part in clearing toxic proteins from inside the brain 1. But in people with Alzheimer’s disease, these cells malfunction, leading to the build up of tau ...

Researchers create a massive single-cell atlas of the aging mouse brain, revealing how epigenetic changes and "jumping genes" drive neurodegeneration.

A chronological map of the fetal brain reveals when key cells emerge and provides clues about autism and cancer.

Scientists studying the cellular origins of pineoblastoma discovered a dependency applicable to anatomically distinct brain tumor types, which may be therapeutically targetable. MEMPHIS, Tenn., March ...

Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when lysosomes, the cellular sanitation machines responsible for those tasks, break down or ...
