The brain is an oxygen-hungry organ. Consisting largely of electrically active cells that need an energy boost to signal to their neighbors, it consumes 20 percent of the body’s oxygen supply. With no ...

"We need an atlas like this to better understand how changes in the vasculature can contribute to the loss of cognition and memory." "This work was a really a beautiful collaboration between ...

Researchers have built the first-ever molecular atlas of the human brain vasculature at single-cell resolution, spanning from early development to adulthood and through disease stages such as brain ...

An international consortium of researchers led by University Health Network (UHN) in Toronto and University of Zurich have built the first-ever molecular atlas of the human brain vasculature at single ...

An electronic scaffold can promote brain regeneration and simultaneously monitor the functional rewiring of neural circuits in mice following a brain lesion. This multimodal, 3D electronic scaffold, ...

To understand what causes Alzheimer's disease and other forms of brain degeneration, scientists may need to look beyond the brain's computational units, the neurons and synapses, and explore the vast ...

Researchers have created and demonstrated a new vascular metamaterial that can be reconfigured to modify its thermal and electromagnetic properties. “We drew inspiration from the network of tiny ...

In work that will enhance the study of such disparate diseases as stroke and dementia, researchers have catalogued all the cells that form the blood vessels of the human brain, along with their ...
