A new study in the peer-reviewed journal Stem Cells and Development describes the development of a co-culture system of neural organoids generated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) ...

In a breakthrough finding, researchers have discovered that immune cells near the spinal cord are triggered by estrogen and ...

Scientists have discovered that female hormones like estrogen and progesterone can trigger immune cells near the spinal cord to release natural opioids, easing pain before it reaches the brain. These ...

Scientists have discovered a new mechanism that acts via an immune cell and points toward a different way of treating chronic ...

As we get older, the essential cleaning processes that our brains need to keep functioning start to break down and fail.

The brain is protected by the skull bone, as well as a sheet of tissue called the meninges. The three layers of the meninges are the dura (the outer thick layer), pia, and arachnoid. A subdural ...

Female hormones can suppress pain by making immune cells near the spinal cord produce opioids, a new study has found. This stops pain signals before they get to the brain. The discovery could help ...
