Scientists have discovered that transplanted stem cell-derived brain cells may do far more than simply survive after a stroke ...
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 ...
University of Virginia School of Medicine scientists have revealed how mistakes in the final step of cell division can have dire consequences for developing brain cells. The findings offer important ...
A team of scientists—including Agnieszka Ciesielska (left), Barbara Klein (center), and Jeanne Paz (right)—showed that modified stem cells can improve brain activity, even when administered more than ...
DNA damage from inflammation outpaces the cells’ ability to self-repair. The finding, in human brain cells and mice, could ...
Scientists have uncovered new evidence that certain immature brain cells may help some people resist the symptoms of ...
Scientists at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed a new cytokine-armored CAR-T cell therapy ...
The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from trauma, stroke, or disease—they rarely grow back. Scientists have been ...
Alzheimer’s has a particular way of living inside a family long before anyone says the word out loud. A parent stumbles on a ...
Scientists at Keck Medicine of USC are testing an experimental stem cell therapy that aims to restore the brain’s ability to produce dopamine, the chemical whose loss drives Parkinson’s disease. The ...
