The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism by which brain cells die. A team led by scientists at the German research ...

Brain cancer is difficult to treat when it starts growing, and a prevalent type, known as a glioma, has a poor five-year survival rate. In a new study, researchers report on a new surgical platform ...

Scientists have traced a devastating pattern of brain cell loss in a handful of families to a single, ultra-rare mutation that sabotages one of the brain’s key protective enzymes. The discovery not ...

Treatment modalities and survival outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma with brain metastases (HCC-BM): A large national study. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2025 ASCO Annual ...

Dominika Pilat, PhD, and Ana Griciuc, PhD, of the Department of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital are the lead and senior authors of a paper published in Neuron, “The Gain-of-Function ...

Many people are familiar with histamine, a biological molecule that serves as a key driver of allergic reactions and other ...

Novel magnetic nanodiscs could provide a much less invasive way of stimulating parts of the brain, paving the way for stimulation therapies without implants or genetic modification, researchers report ...

In a major advance, researchers have successfully corrected genetic mutations in neurons with a single injection into the brains of a mouse model. This technique did not completely reverse the disease ...

A vanishingly rare genetic glitch in a single enzyme can erase a newborn’s brain cells in a matter of weeks, leaving doctors with almost no way to intervene. Researchers have now traced that ...
