Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Every year, millions of lives are suddenly, swiftly transformed by a stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel travelling ...

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain ...

A team of scientists—including Agnieszka Ciesielska (left), Barbara Klein (center), and Jeanne Paz (right)—showed that modified stem cells can improve brain activity, even when administered more than ...

As we get older, everything in our bodies age, even our cells. But brain cells are different. Most neurons last a lifetime, and the adult brain even contains several areas that can make new neurons ...

By editing thousands of genes in mouse stem cells, the scientists identified a list of over 300 that are crucial for neural differentiation.

Stem cells in the brain, called neural stem cells (NSCs), have the ability to proliferate, differentiate, and undergo a process of cell death. Most of the NSCs in our brains exist in a dormant state, ...

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene ...
