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.

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, ...

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 ...

Researchers developed a way to directly reprogram human glial cells into PV interneurons without passing through a stem‑cell stage.

Japanese scientists have created miniature human brain circuits by joining lab-grown thalamus and cortex models from stem ...

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...
