The human brain contains roughly 86 billion neurons, and for decades scientists have assumed that these cells are the primary ...

The brain may reuse some cells to store many different memories without mixing them up with or erasing older memories, a new study in mice suggests.

The brain may reuse some cells to store many different memories without mixing them up with or erasing older memories, a new study in mice suggests. Led by NYU Langone Health researchers, the study re ...

Ferroptosis, a type of cell death, may help maintain neuron balance in the hippocampus, supporting memory, learning and brain ...

Researchers from The University of Texas at Arlington and the University of California–San Francisco have used a new brain-mapping technique to identify memory-related brain cells vulnerable to ...

Just two doses showed improvements in cognitive function, restoring memory and focus, effectively reversing brain aging that ...

We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (T RM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease. Rather than coursing through the bloodstream-as many T cells ...

The average human has about 1.8 trillion immune cells. These cells patrol the body for bacteria, viruses, cancers, and other threats. Vaccines enhance this security system by teaching our immune cells ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

T lymphocytes differentiate from naïve precursors upon antigen encounter into distinct effector and memory subsets. Following priming by antigen-presenting cells in lymphoid tissues, naïve CD4+ and ...
