The human brain is the center of the human nervous system and is a highly complex organ. Enclosed in the cranium, it has the same general structure as the brains of other mammals, but is over three times as large as the brain of a typical mammal with an equivalent body size.

Study identifies neural compass in the human brain

A pattern of brain activity that helps prevent us from getting lost has been identified in a new study, published in Nature Human Behaviour.

Rising scooter injuries: Dentists warn of growing trend in e-scooter accidents

Study found a significant rise in electric scooter-related dental injuries in the UK from 2020 to 2022, with unprovoked falls being the most common cause, and many injuries linked to lack of helmet use and intoxication.

Unlocking glioblastoma's immune suppression mechanism

The Wistar Institute assistant professor Filippo Veglia, Ph.D., and team, have discovered a key mechanism of how glioblastoma -; a serious and often fatal brain cancer -; suppresses the immune system so that the tumor can grow unimpeded by the body's defenses.

Research highlights the link between mitochondrial calcium transport and autophagy

An article published in The Faseb Journal describes a Brazilian study analyzing the correlation between two key energy metabolism regulation processes: the absorption and release of calcium ions by mitochondria, the organelles that generate energy for cells; and autophagy induced by calorie restriction. Autophagy occurs when cells break down and reuse their own cytoplasm.
