Metallic nanoflowers may be the next frontier in brain health, reducing oxidative stress, protecting mitochondria, and even extending lifespan in lab models. A new study shows they hold “incredible ...

Scientists at Cedars-Sinai have uncovered a surprising repair system in the spinal cord that could open new doors for treating paralysis, stroke, and diseases like multiple sclerosis. They found that ...

A fall on the head, a blow to the skull, or a road traffic accident—the causes of traumatic brain injury are diverse, but the ...

A research team has found that specific immune cells can connect with muscle fibers in a lightning-fast, neuron-like way to promote healing. These cells deliver quick pulses of calcium, triggering ...

If you've ever felt stuck in old pain, these trauma-healing methods could finally move you forward. Trauma doesn't just leave scars on the heart; it leaves what some experts call a "brain wound." When ...
