Scientists have successfully grown over 400 different types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab—a groundbreaking step ...

Oct. 5, 2022 — In the brain of adult mammals neural stem cells ensure that new nerve cells, i.e. neurons, are constantly formed. This process, known as adult neurogenesis, helps mice maintain ...

In a landmark discovery, researchers from QIMR Berghofer in collaboration with the Francis Crick Institute, have unlocked the ...

In their study, published in Mechanobiology in Medicine, the researchers discovered that the protein responsible for binding neural stem cells in the human brain, neuro-cadherin, also plays a key ...

Physical movement originates with electrical signals in the brain that are passed through the spinal cord or brain stem, but when someone is paralyzed, the signals hit a dead end.

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 ...

How a longevity gene protects brain stem cells from stress Date: February 19, 2021 Source: Weill Cornell Medicine Summary: A gene linked to unusually long lifespans in humans protects brain stem ...

The team tested the technique by converting mouse skin cells to motor neurons. And sure enough, this resulted in a yield of over 1,000%. The resulting motor neurons were found to produce ...

In humans, stem cells are also present in the same brain area, although they normally do not make olfactory bulb neurons after early infancy. "Some women report changes in smell during pregnancy ...

Stem cell transplants have shown promise in treating Alzheimer's disease in mice by replacing microglia, the brain's immune cells Depositphotos View 1 Image ...

The finding, though preliminary, is significant in part because “the brain stem is really involved in autonomic activities — breathing, heart rate, staying awake — so this is evidence that there’s ...
