New research reveals that certain brain tumors may originate silently within normal brain cells long before a tumor forms.

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

IDH-mutant glioma, caused by abnormalities in a specific gene (IDH), is the most common malignant brain tumor among young ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Neurons are the cells in the brain responsible for sending messages to the rest of the body, and scientists have long thought that they are settled into one subtype once they develop from stem cells, ...

A new study has pinpointed cells in the brains of mice that have the unique ability to proliferate and may help to repair damaged tissue. Scientists now need to determine if similar cells exist in ...

When patients hear the term brain tumor, they tend to assume cancer. But not all brain tumors are malignant in nature. Many are benign, i.e., they do not get transmitted to other locations of the body ...
