A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

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

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

Stem cells from lost baby teeth (SHED) can treat cerebral palsy, improving motor and brain function even after symptoms appear. A potential new therapy!

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 ...

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 ...

While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus at twice the rate of healthy older adults. In contrast, individuals with ...

Every year, millions of lives are suddenly, swiftly transformed by a stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel travelling towards the brain becomes obstructed, causing neurons to die off. Strokes are ...

Understanding how a healthy brain works can provide insight into how it fails, too. Scientists hope that studying organoids derived from humans with neurodevelopmental disorders — particularly ...

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

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