Researchers discover mechanism for memory storage in engram cells

What is the mechanism that allows our brains to incorporate new information about the world, and form memories? New work by a team of neuroscientists led by Dr Tomás Ryan from Trinity College Dublin shows that learning occurs through the continuous formation of new connectivity patterns between specific engram cells in different regions of the brain.

Scientists uncover key to enhancing cancer-killing T cells

T cells are the key immune system component involved in killing cancer. Tumors produce signals that turn off these T cells, partially by forcing them to progressively differentiate (mature) into a hypofunctional state known as exhaustion.

Sex-specific brain immunometabolism differences may underlie increased Alzheimer's risk in women

Cleveland Clinic researchers analyzed genes and brain tissue of patients with Alzheimer's and found that differences in brain immunometabolism – the interactions between the immune system and the ways cells create energy – may contribute to women's increased risk for the disease and its severity.
