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 ...
Like the seeds of a forest, a few cells in embryos eventually sprout into an ecosystem of brain cells. Neurons get the most recognition for their computing power. But a host of other cells provides ...
Research reveals why Alzheimer’s brain damage doesn’t always lead to dementia, highlighting the role of protective brain ...
In a landmark discovery, researchers from QIMR Berghofer in collaboration with the Francis Crick Institute, have unlocked the secrets of how brain stem cells enter and exit a resting state called ...
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 ...
Miracell, a stem cell-focused biotechnology company, announced that clinical results have demonstrated significant cognitive ...
Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a stroke. For survivors of the most common type of stroke, called an ischemic stroke, only about 5 percent fully recover. Most others suffer from ...
No, this isn’t science fiction. Real-life researchers taught a dish of roughly 200,000 living human brain cells to play the classic 1990s computer game “Doom.” Experts at Cortical Labs, an Australian ...
Cell therapy is the treatment of disease or disability by the injection of cells into a patient. These might be the patient’s own cells or come from a donor. They might be engineered, manipulated, or ...
The discovery of a new type of stem cell in the brain could usher in better treatments for the deadliest brain tumor. UCSF scientists have discovered a stem cell in the young brain that's capable of ...
