The current human tissue-based study provides convincing evidence correlating hippocampal expressions of RNA guanine-rich G-quadruplexes with aging and with Alzheimer's Disease presence and severity.

Certain processes in the brain can only be understood by studying actual brain tissue. For instance, when the brain is removed from a deceased donor, it is dissected according to a specific protocol.

So et al. present an optimized protocol for single-nuclei RNA sequencing of adipose tissue in mice, ensuring better RNA quality and nuclei integrity. The authors use this protocol to explore the ...

What Is White Matter Disease? White matter disease is the wearing away of tissue in the largest and deepest part of your brain. The loss of white matter function has a number of causes ...

“Neuralink’s strategy requires implantation into the cerebral cortex, which can cause damage to brain tissue,” said Tao Hu, founder and chief scientist at NeuroXess. “Our approach involves ...

The idea has remained controversial, given the difficulty of obtaining healthy, uncontaminated human brain tissue that could be used to study possible microbial inhabitants. Recently, a study ...

The cells in the area are also connected with metabolism, suggesting a connection between diet and brain health. Scientists at the Allen Institute have identified specific cell types in the brain ...

Vaccines and aborted fetal tissue are linked in some cases. That's because certain vaccines, such as a type of rabies vaccine, are made by cultivating the virus in fetal cells. The Janssen COVID-19 ...

Intelligence stems from brain-wide connections, not specific regions, according to JMU researchers. Their findings challenge established theories, highlighting the brain’s complexity. A new study ...

A person’s brain is not fully developed until their mid to late 20s, as the brain grows in physical size and with the emergence and strengthening of nerve pathways in the brain. Maturity, judgment, ...
