A groundbreaking study from the Karolinska Institute shows that adults can grow new neurons in the hippocampus, providing ...

Chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1) is a secretory glycoprotein from the glycoside involved in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses. In the brain, CHI3L1 is primarily produced by ...

The question of whether adult brains grow new brain cells has been debated for more than 60 years. Known as "neurogenesis", ...

Age often brings a gradual decline in the ability to learn new things and retain memories. This phenomenon, often associated ...

A clue to the link between Sirt1 and neurogenesis came from the finding that it can mediate cellular responses to changes in redox state in several different cell types.

In the hippocampus, a critical brain region for learning and memory, new cells emerge in some people into late adulthood, ...

Scientists have found evidence of new brain cells sprouting in adults - a process that many thought only occurred in children ...

The “missing link” helps adults grow new neurons—something long thought to end after childhood—and that discovery could lead ...

Mouse olfactory organoids revealed stem cells that preserve smell, offering clues to treat age- and disease-related smell ...

Plasticity allows the brain to adapt, learn and recover. Exercise improves neuroplasticity by strengthening the connections ...

At high doses, cosmic rays can tear through DNA molecules and damage biological tissue. Prolonged exposure to cosmic ...
