A raft of research is recasting the thymus from a bit player to a potent regulator of aging and immune health.

Yesterday, I noticed something extraordinary. For the past five years, I’ve frequently driven a challenging seven-hour drive between a small mountain town and my hometown of Vancouver, Canada. For ...

Neural organoids derived from patient-specific iPSC lines can help open doors toward studying human brain development, physiology, and disease progression. The increased cell-cell interactions in ...

Menopause brings profound shifts not just in hormones but in the very structure of the brain. Scientists have found that gray matter in regions tied to memory and thinking can shrink, while white ...
