Healing from any injury involves a delicate balance between scarring and inflammation — two processes that can wreak havoc as well as make repairs. When the injury is to the brain, the balance is that ...

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain's support cells ...

A team at Texas A&M AgriLife Research has developed a new way to protect and potentially heal brain cells, using microscopic particles shaped like flowers. The so-called “nanoflowers,” metallic ...

Metallic nanoflowers may be the next frontier in brain health, reducing oxidative stress, protecting mitochondria, and even extending lifespan in lab models. A new study shows they hold “incredible ...

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

At Texas A&M AgriLife Research, a new branch of brain science is blooming at the molecular scale—with nanoflowers. A study published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry demonstrated that ...

The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from trauma, stroke, or disease—they rarely grow back. Scientists have been ...

Researchers have synthesized enhanced vitamin K analogues that outperform natural vitamin K in promoting neuron growth. The new compounds, which combine vitamin K with retinoic acid, activate the ...
