A Japanese research team has demonstrated in rat experiments that stem cells from human primary tooth pulp may help treat ...

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

Understanding how the brain develops neurons and maintains cognitive function in old age could help researchers develop suitable drugs to treat Alzheimer's ...

Scientists revealed how the protein can be used to rejuvenates neural stem cells.

Cerebral palsy is a condition usually caused by brain damage before or during birth, resulting in impaired posture and movement. Early symptoms are typically subtle, which may delay diagnosis until ...

A Phase I clinical trial led by researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine has demonstrated the long-term safety and feasibility of neural stem cell transplantation for ...

Neural stem cells (NSCs) are undifferentiated cells capable of extensive self‐renewal and the production of specialised cell types, including neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. In the adult ...

This graphical abstract illustrates the study design. Notable innovations include the use of a “floating cannula” to deliver stem cells without suspension of respiration, utilizing diffuse tensor ...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes structural damage to neural circuits, which in turn leads to sensory and motor dysfunction. Transplantation of neural precursor cells/stem cells provides a potential ...

Drosophila neural stem cells, known as neuroblasts, exemplify an ideal model to investigate the intricate interplay between intrinsic programmes and extrinsic signals that govern neural development.

A new study has uncovered how an exceptionally scarce protein can orchestrate the assembly of large-scale gene-silencing structures inside cells, and what happens when that process breaks down. The ...

For much of the 20th century it was thought that the adult brain was incapable of regeneration. This view has since shifted dramatically and neurogenesis – the birth of new neurons – is now a widely ...
