Scientists have identified a previously unknown type of neural stem cell (pNSC) that exists outside the brain and spinal cord ...

Scientists have the technology to grow humans in Petri dishes, but they say there are better uses for it: to combat aging.

Furthermore, obtaining NSCs from the brain is not a favored ... accessible peripheral neural stem cells could provide a new avenue for neural repair and regeneration, bypassing many of the ...

A new way to deliver disease-fighting proteins throughout the brain may improve the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other neurological disorders, according to University of California, Irvine ...

And unlike other organs, the brain has a comparatively low capacity for natural regeneration due to its low presence of stem cells," said Gaskon Ibarretxe, a researcher in UPV/EHU's Signaling Lab ...

Taking well over an hour, he carved off 136 paper-thin sections. Allman was searching for a peculiar kind of brain cell that he suspects is a key to how the African elephant—like a human being ...

This network has two types of brain cell: neurons and astrocytes. These brain cells communicate with immune cells, called monocytes, that are outside the brain in blood vessels. The authors ...

"This finding goes beyond spinal cord injury -- it has implications in brain injury and stroke ... that are needed to support axon regeneration. In cell-culture experiments, the researchers ...

Researchers can now generate brain cells from patients using stem cells, which gives them a clearer understanding of how schizophrenia develops Individuals with schizophrenia may have abnormally ...
