Human pluripotent stem cells can develop into any cell of the body and can be coaxed to become neurons to model brain diseases in a lab dish. However, it had been nearly impossible to model tau ...

Weill Cornell Medicine scientists have developed an innovative human neuron model that robustly simulates the spread of tau protein aggregates in the brain—a process that drives cognitive decline in ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...
