Among the body's most crucial protective features are the brain barrier systems, including the blood-brain and blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barriers. These barriers are made of highly specialized ...

The cytoskeleton gives cells their shape and helps them move. Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and Ludwig Maximilian University now show that, in neural stem cells, proteins of the cytoskeleton are ...

One of the challenges when studying brain development and disease is the limited access to live human brain tissue. Murine models have been extensively used to investigate brain development and ...

Senescent "zombie" cells are essential architects required to build and maintain the brain's protective barriers.

The human brain undergoes remarkable growth and differentiation during the first and second trimester 1,2, but many of the mechanisms that influence these processes remain poorly understood. In recent ...
