Scientists reprogram brain cells to remove Alzheimer’s plaques with a single injection, showing a new approach to long-term treatment.

Researchers have used gene therapy to partially reprogram the brain cells that store memories in aging mice, reversing signs of cellular decline and restoring learning ability. The technique, ...

A mechanism underlying neutrophil reprogramming in brain cancers has been uncovered, illuminating potential therapeutic targets to stop their pro-cancer effect. Tumor-infiltrating neutrophils are ...

Scientists at the University of Cambridge believe they may have discovered a surprising new way to slow the spread of brain cancer. Instead of targeting cancer cells directly, their research suggests ...

(CNN) — For decades, a diagnosis of glioblastoma – an aggressive, hard-to-treat cancer in the brain – has been a death sentence for patients. Only 3% to 5% of people who are diagnosed with this type ...

What if the early childhood social and emotional programming that got downloaded into your brain is not helping you? Are you simply out of luck? The new science of epigenetics paints a radically ...
