Aging is the price paid for the ability of experiencing existence, one might philosophize. Natural cellular aging begins with ...

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 ...

Professor Ralf Jauch (centre), the School of Biomedical Sciences, HKUMed, and his research team have developed an innovative method to transform blood and skin cells into neural stem cells, overcoming ...

Researchers have discovered the mechanism which allows adult brain stem cells to express genes that maintain their identity and those for neuronal differentiation without conflicts in cellular ...

A mouse study finds that exogenous transthyretin shifts postnatal subventricular zone progenitors toward differentiated ...

A new review finds stem cell and extracellular vesicle therapies show encouraging preclinical results for Alzheimer's disease ...

Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) have identified an innovation in stem cell therapy to regenerate neural cells in the brain after cardiac arrest in an animal model.

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular "traffic cops" known ...

A decades-old picture of how the brain builds its most complex structure turned out to be wrong in a fundamental way: the cerebral cortex doesn't grow from one flexible stem cell population that ...

UCLA researchers used patient-derived stem cells to model how gene variants that cause developmental and epileptic encephalopathy type 13, a rare genetic childhood epilepsy, affect different regions ...
