Between and around the billions of neurons in the human brain is an equally vital scaffold, the extracellular matrix (ECM).

An analysis of tissue samples from nearly 1,200 older adults found that the more insertions individuals had, the younger they died.

A mechanism for metabolic disease is traced to a defective cellular scaffolding that holds together the brain’s hunger cells.
