A novel therapy based on induced neuronal stem cells shows promise in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease – and it can […]

Researchers publishing in Nature have reported a new advance in developing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells to fight solid tumors in the brain. A difficult endeavor CAR T cell-based therapies are normally discussed in the context […]

Scientists have shown that in a direct cellular reprogramming scenario, neurons are produced almost exclusively by a rare subtype of multipotent cells. Their findings, they claim, change our understanding of reprogramming, but not everyone agrees [1]. […]

Boosting a key autophagy-related protein discourages a core component of Alzheimer’s from taking hold, according to a study published in Aging Cell. Taking out the trash Autophagy is the maintenance process of the cell, in which autophagosomes engulf unwanted […]
