Brain stem cells cortical development works differently than scientists believed for 60 years: two parallel, fate-committed lineages build the cerebral cortex simultaneously from the first neurons -- ...

Researchers created a 3D human brain tissue model using stem cells to model Alzheimer's plaque clearance and enable automated ...

How can Alzheimer's research be made faster, better and more effective? After decades of intensive research worldwide and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

How can Alzheimer's research be made faster, better, and more effective? After decades of intensive research worldwide and despite recent therapeutic advances, scientists have not managed to fully ...

Treatment with stem cells is safe and shows signs of slowing brain atrophy in people with progressive MS, per long-term early study data.

For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...
