Lesser-known brain cells might be key to staying awake without cost to cog
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
A new animal study suggests that understudied brain cells called astrocytes play a key role in regulating sleep demand, and that one day humans will be able to sleep for long periods of time without adverse effects such as mental fatigue and reduced physical health. It suggests that it may b

Study finds small molecules have significant impact on different brain, ro
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
A recent study from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and the VIB-KU Leuven Centre for Brain and Disease Research demonstrates that a little molecule known as microRNA-132 can significantly affect many brain cells and may be related to Alzheimer's disease.

Researchers find how liver cells control biological clock
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
To control their activity according to the time of day, organisms rely on a biological clock known as the 'circadian' clock. A central clock, made up of a collection of brain cells known as suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN), synchronises the circadian clocks found in all of the body's organs, kno

Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
A multinational study team led by experts from DZNE, University Hospital Bonn, and the Netherlands studied brain immune cells and used laser irradiation to alter them. As molecular mediators, gene transcripts (mRNAs) will be used. Scientists want to learn more about how these cells change th

How brain cells are starved of energy in autophagy dysfunction: Study
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
According to new research, neurodegeneration in brain cells may occur when the normal cellular cleansing mechanism failed owing to declining levels of a coenzyme related to niacin and deprives cells of energy.

Study finds how some brain cells transfer material to neurons
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
UC Davis researchers are the first to describe how oligodendrocyte-lineage cells transfer cell material to neurons in the mouse brain. Their findings show that these cells and neurons interact in a coordinated nuclear manner.

Tick infection affects various cell types in brain: Study
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Depending on whether the affected person's immune system is activated or not, the dreaded tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus infects different types of brain cells in different parts of the brain. This is demonstrated in a new study from Ume University in Sweden.
