A British charity just announced a bold five-year plan to invest £24.3 million in brain tumour research, building on 17 years of progress that's already contributed nearly £80 million to finding cures. One in three people knows someone affected by this devastating disease, and now there's a clear roadmap to accelerate breakthroughs.
A new AI assistant called Claude Science is helping medical researchers analyze genetic data in a fraction of the time, potentially accelerating breakthroughs in cancer treatment and drug discovery. One brain cancer researcher now completes analyses in days instead of months.
A decade after Gillian Lee's brain tumor diagnosis, her family donated £50,000 to fund groundbreaking immunotherapy research that could transform treatment for aggressive brain cancers. The gift honors a woman who turned her diagnosis into inspiration for others to truly live.
A Virginia high school senior is first author on groundbreaking research using hydrogel "brain phantoms" to measure traumatic brain injury forces without animal testing. The lab's artificial rat brains, made from materials similar to Jell-O, could revolutionize how researchers study concussions and brain trauma.
Researchers discovered a previously unknown drainage pathway in the human brain that clears waste, offering new hope for treating Alzheimer's and brain injuries. Using MRI technology from NASA spaceflight research, they watched in real time as the brain's cleanup crew went to work.
Scientists discovered chaotic laser light can organize itself into a precision beam that images the blood-brain barrier 25 times faster than current methods. The breakthrough could accelerate treatments for Alzheimer's, ALS, and other neurological diseases.
International researchers discovered how to engineer tiny medicine carriers that trick the body's own blood proteins into safely delivering drugs past the brain's protective barrier. This breakthrough could transform treatment for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and deadly brain cancers.
A leading brain research lab is betting big on a tiny, see-through fish that could unlock mysteries of how brains control behavior. The transparent Danionella lets scientists observe every neuron firing at once, something impossible with traditional research animals.
Researchers discovered a drainage network inside protective brain layers that slowly removes waste, changing how we understand brain health. This breakthrough could lead to better treatments for Alzheimer's and other brain disorders.
University of Utah researchers discovered how toxic proteins travel between brain cells in Alzheimer's disease, potentially opening the door to treatments that could slow the condition's progression. The key culprit is a common brain protein that accidentally helps disease spread from sick neurons to healthy ones.
A foundation born from personal loss just handed researchers another major gift in the fight against devastating brain diseases. The donation brings their total giving to over $150,000 in just a few years.
MIT scientists discovered that cranking up laser power creates a self-organizing beam that captures brain images 25 times faster than current methods. This breakthrough could help researchers quickly test whether Alzheimer's and ALS drugs actually reach brain cells.
Junny Nguyen arrived at Trinity College convinced she wasn't a "science person." Four years later, she's leading brain injury research and heading to Europe for a master's in neuropharmacology.
Two women neuroscientists just received $300,000 in combined funding to unlock mysteries about concussions in kids and how exercise protects aging brains. Their work could help millions recover faster and live healthier lives.
A major research campus is launching a 10-year project to understand how brains create behavior, using artificial intelligence as a full research partner. They'll watch inside the brain of a transparent fish to unlock secrets that could help treat Alzheimer's, autism, and depression.
Chemical engineering student Ashley Blake just earned one of America's most prestigious undergraduate honors for her work developing treatments that could help millions living with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The Goldwater Scholar is creating drug delivery systems that can break through the brain's natural barriers to deliver medicine where it's needed most.
University of Miami scientists found a way to restore blood flow in the brains of mice with Alzheimer's, a breakthrough that could lead to new treatments for the 7 million Americans living with the disease. By activating a specific protein in blood vessels, they reversed one of the earliest warning signs of the condition.
Scientists discovered that digital brain models work better when brain regions compete for resources, just like in real life. This breakthrough could revolutionize personalized medicine and help more treatments succeed in human trials.
A teenager who battled brain cancer at age 3 is now hosting lemonade stands to fund childhood cancer research. Joseph Surdyka's journey from learning to walk again to helping other families shows the power of giving back.
Researchers at NYU have pinpointed exactly where those sudden flashes of insight happen in your brain, solving a mystery that's puzzled scientists for decades. The discovery could help millions with conditions like schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease.
