When a neuron ages, it loses synaptic connections with other neurons, it is less able to transmit nerve impulses, and its metabolism is also altered. This process of neuronal ageing — inevitable with ...

Researchers developed a way to directly reprogram human glial cells into PV interneurons without passing through a stem‑cell stage.

A drug that restores brain metabolism in mouse models of Alzheimer's also improved cognitive function. The discovery could help researchers find additional pathways to combating the symptoms of this ...

One reason that chronic pain, mental or physical is consistently solvable is the brain’s property of neuroplasticity. Your brain physically constantly changes based on the nature of the sensory input.

A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...

A new study has pinpointed how the APOE4 gene variant sabotages the brain’s energy balance, blocking neurons from burning fat for fuel when glucose runs low, a discovery that could reveal new ways to ...

Tumor growth unfolds within a tumor microenvironment (TME) defined by metabolic–immune crosstalk. Emerging evidence indicates that cancer cells not only reprogram glycolysis but also alter amino acid, ...

Novel protein biomarkers for early detection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma using longitudinal serum protein measurements and machine learning. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2025 ASCO ...

How strongly does our metabolism influence thinking? This question has been examined by Dr. Philipp Haueis, a philosopher of science at Bielefeld University, in a recent publication in the journal ...
