Northeastern University scientists have discovered that a protein in the human brain could potentially be used to grow new neurons in the lab and enhance brain processes affected by aging or ...

For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international study, led by Hans Schöler of the Max Planck Institute for Molecular ...

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 ...

Scientists in Zurich have shown that stem cell transplants can reverse stroke damage by regenerating neurons, restoring motor functions, and even repairing blood vessels. The breakthrough not only ...

Ischemic stroke, arising from obstruction of cerebral blood vessels, initiates a cascade of inflammation, blood–brain barrier disruption and neuronal death. Neural stem cell (NSC) therapeutics seek to ...

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can restore the ability of neural stem cells to regenerate, even when age-related ...

Leslie M. Thompson, Donald Bren Professor of psychiatry and human behavior as well as neurobiology and behavior at the University of California, Irvine, has received an $11,999,933 grant from the ...

Promising lab results for ‘microscopic repair crews, guided by magnets’ ...
