Brain immune cells may help build Alzheimer's plaques

A new study led by researchers from VIB and KU Leuven shows that immune cells called microglia can actively promote the formation of plaques in Alzheimer's disease, challenging the long-standing view that these cells serve ...

Why 'being squeezed' helps breast cancer cells to thrive

A new study led by researchers at Adelaide University and published in Science Advances reveals why some cancers can grow and survive in the body, while others cannot. It turns out that intense mechanical pressure experienced ...

Movies reconstructed purely from mouse brain activity

Scientists have successfully reconstructed videos purely from the brain activity of mice, showing what the mice were seeing, in a new study led by University College London (UCL) researchers. The findings, published in eLife, ...

Long-read genome sequencing uncovers new autism gene variants

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using long-read whole genome sequencing (LR-WGS), an emerging approach that reads ...
