Scientists Reprogram Brain Immune Cells to Combat Alzheimer’s Disease, Study Finds

Scientists have identified a promising experimental approach that may help the brain fight Alzheimer’s disease by reprogramming its own immune cells, according to a new study published in Cell Death and Disease. The research, conducted by teams in Spain and Switzerland, focused on a molecule called......

China to back IPOs of future industry startups and AI model companies

China has announced new measures aimed at strengthening its technology sector by supporting initial public offerings (IPOs) for startups operating in “future industries,” including artificial intelligence, quantum computing, nuclear fusion, and brain-computer interface technologies. The......

Harvard and Princeton map entire drosophila nervous system neurons

Researchers from Harvard Medical School and Princeton University have produced the first complete wiring map of the central nervous system of an adult fruit fly. The work reconstructs every neuron and synaptic connection, creating a unified view of around 160,000 neurons. The dataset reveals that motor......

Initio feel lab uses brain signals for fragrance testing

Initio Parfums Privés has introduced a sensory concept that links neuroscience and perfumery. The system measures how the brain reacts to fragrance exposure in real time using electroencephalogram technology. It places scent selection within a framework that combines emotional response and data......

First brain histamine map links molecule to major psychiatric disorders

Researchers have produced the first comprehensive map of the brain’s histaminergic system, identifying a strong overlap between histamine-related gene activity and regions involved in major psychiatric conditions. The study, published in Nature Mental Health, links these brain areas to attention......

MIT researchers reveal self organizing laser breakthrough for brain imaging

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have identified a phenomenon in which chaotic laser light can spontaneously reorganize into a highly focused beam inside a standard optical fiber. The finding challenges established assumptions in laser physics and has led to a new biomedical imaging......

Cancer linked mutations in brain immune cells tied to Alzheimer’s disease

Researchers have identified cancer associated genetic mutations in brain immune cells that may play a direct role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease, offering a new explanation for how the condition progresses and opening potential paths for diagnosis and treatment. The findings show that......

Mit study identifies molecules that let gut neurons detect bacteria

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have identified the molecular signals that allow gut neurons to distinguish between beneficial and harmful bacteria. The work reveals a chemical communication system between microbes and the nervous system that may also exist in humans. The findings,......

Study finds 3000 genes differ between male and female brains

A large scale analysis of individual brain cells has identified more than 3,000 genes whose activity differs between male and female brains, offering new insight into biological factors linked to neurological and psychiatric disorders. The study, published in Science, analyzed gene expression across......
