A groundbreaking clinical trial is testing whether specially engineered stem cells can help the brain restore its own ...

As we age, neuron production declines in the human brain, but scientists just identified the protein key to regenerating neural stem cells.

Scientists revealed how the protein can be used to rejuvenates neural stem cells. Scientists have discovered a protein that could help reverse the aging of neural stem cells in the brain. It’s that ...

Pasca Lab specializes in growing three-dimensional organoid models from reprogrammed stem cells, which capture molecular changes during fetal brain-like development. Because the human brain cannot be ...

The promise of reclaiming youthful cognitive function has long been a holy grail for neuroscientists, but researchers may ...

The federal government is looking for researchers who can, in 5 years, develop stem cell treatments to repair brain damage caused by stroke, neurodegeneration, and trauma. The Functional Repair of ...

When someone has a stroke—a leading worldwide cause of death and disability—time is of the essence. Almost nine out of 10 cases are ischemic strokes, caused by restricted blood flow in the brain, and ...

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 ...

Neuroscientists discover that Rett syndrome mutations cause a leaky brain via overexpressed miRNA-126-3p, pointing to a new therapeutic target for vascular repair.

No body, no dopamine, no problem. Scientists have successfully coached lab-grown brain tissue to solve a classic robotics challenge, proving that the will to learn is hardwired into our neurons.
