Study reveals how neurons and glial cells contribute to drive neurodegeneration following brain injury.
Researchers developed a new method for producing high numbers of human photoreceptor cells. The human photoreceptor cells can be transplanted in bulk to partially degenerated mouse retinas and improve the detection of daylight in mice with damaged eyesight.
Study reveals the mechanism by which genes coding for a subset of long non-coding RNA interacts with neighboring genes to regulate the development and function of cortical neurons.
Taste-related genes may play a significant role in determining personal food and diet choices, and could also have an impact on cardiometabolic health.
A new protocol for differentiating human embryonic stem cells to RPE cells could be a safe and effective approach for treating age-related macular degeneration.
Infiltrating gliomas are shaped by their genetic evolution and microenvironment, researchers report. The findings may help in the development of therapies to treat glioma brain tumors.
Researchers have identified a new genetic eye disease that affects the macula.
The Parkinson's-associated protein alpha-synuclein appears to act as a "toggle switch" that helps control vesicle transportation and gene expression. In a diseased state, this delicate balance is broken. The findings have implications for the development of new treatments for Parkinson's disease.
Researchers have identified the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate selective autophagy.
A new study sheds light on how the neocortex in the human brain develops.
Genetic factors influence the severity of symptoms in children on the autism spectrum, and different genetic factors were associated with different symptoms of ASD.
Sex-specific circuits in muscles signal to other tissues and organs, processing muscle impact differently in males and females.
