Researchers modified NG2 glial cells in the central nervous system into new neurons to promote recovery following spinal cord injury.
Senolytic drugs administered to mice reduced senescent cells around amyloid plaques by more than 90% and decreased neuroinflammation by 50%. Mice treated with the drug combination also showed improvements in spatial memory, compared to other Alzheimer's model mice who received no treatment. The findings could have positive implications for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease in people with the condition.
A collaborative research paper uncovers a novel mechanism of altered information processing between neurons.
Researchers have developed a new technology in order to regenerate functional neurons after brain injury.
New research shows the transmembrane protein NG2 controls orientation of cell migration towards a wound.
