Human Brain Cells

This research paves the way for potential advancements in bio-computing, hinting at the prospect of more efficient systems compared to traditional computers.

Scientists have successfully implanted and integrated human brain cells into newborn rats, creating a new way to study complex psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and autism, and perhaps eventually test treatments.

Scientists have developed synthetic mouse embryos from stem cells. The model embryos feature beating hearts and even foundations for the brain and other organs of a mouse's body. The achievement is likely to help researchers unravel why some embryos successfully develop into a foetus while others fail to do so.

Scientists have successfully mapped the surface of the cerebral cortex of the young human brain in impressively high resolution. The mapping, done using high-quality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, showed development in the key regions of the brain from two months before an individual's birth to two months after it.

Researchers have introduced modern human variants in mice. The six amino acid positions are the same in both mice and Neanderthals. It was found that three modern human amino acids in two of the proteins cause a longer metaphase, a phase where chromosomes are prepared for cell division, and this results in fewer errors when the chromosomes are dist...

A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) created a human tissue model to demonstrate the functioning of nanoparticles. Now, the team of researchers has developed nanoparticles that can carry the drug and enter tumours, killing the glioblastoma cells.

The team was able to find how brain cells respond to good nutrition or the lack of it, which aimed at improving prenatal care in humans and may also help in current research in the lab on the role of neural stem cells in recovery from brain injury.

B vitamins support the functioning of the complete body in some way or the other. B vitamins are a family of 8 essential nutrients. Here is everything you need to know about the different B vitamins. Also, know food sources for each one of them.

Scientists have managed to restore cell function in the brains of pigs hours after they died, in a breakthrough Wednesday that experts said threw into question the very notion of what makes animals -- or even humans -- alive.

Carbohydrates are sugar molecules which the body breaks down into energy. The most important sugar molecule (glucose) provides the body's cells with energy. The human brain relies on glucose and if it does not get enough you start feeling low, inactive, sleepy, sluggish and confused.

Alzheimer's radically accelerates the rate at which we lose nerve cells and this research provides convincing evidence that it also limits the creation of new nerve cells.

L-norvaline is an ingredient widely used in bodybuilding supplements and is promoted as a compound that can boost workouts and aid recovery. New study says that this amino acid can make cells unhealthy and eventually kill them. Know more here.

Navigation is considered a complex behavioural task, and in animals is partly controlled by a sort of onboard GPS driven by "grid cells" in the brain's hippocampus region.

In a first, US scientists have grown miniature human brains or human brain organoids, in the skulls of mice, a breakthrough that could boost stem cell research as well as provide insight into neurological disorders such as autism, dementia, and schizophrenia.

Scientists have discovered a way to stop a deadly fungal infection from hijacking the body's immune system and spreading to the brain. Researchers, including those from Universities of Sheffield in the UK and Harvard Medical School in the US, studied Cryptococcosis, a disease that infects humans and animals after breathing in airborne fungi.
