Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their ...

A multi-institutional study has mapped the genetic circuitry that determines whether CD8 killer T cells become durable immune defenders or lapse into exhaustion, and has shown that disabling two ...

Investigators led by Navdeep Chandel, Ph.D., the David W. Cugell, MD, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, have discovered how the metabolism of mitochondria supports ...

Our brain’s memory center bears a sleek design. A peek into living tissue from human hippocampi, a brain region crucial for memory and learning, revealed relatively few cell-to-cell connections for ...

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can ...

Researchers have discovered that some CAR-T cells engineered to fight cancer and other conditions carry the memory of past encounters with bacteria, viruses and other antigens within them, a finding ...

Age can make memory feel like something that only moves in one direction. A name slips away. A route you know well turns ...

Tiny amounts of signaling molecules hang around on macrophages to pump up responses to repeated threats, offering a target to treat autoimmune conditions.

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...

Scientists from Norwich Medical School have conducted a study examining the potential cognitive benefits of cranberries in ...
