A study by scientists at BRIC-RGCB has shed light on brain development and the maintenance of neural stem cells. In a ...

Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have found that a key ...

Northeastern University scientists have discovered that a protein in the human brain could potentially be used to grow new neurons in the lab and enhance brain processes affected by aging or ...

Researchers identified DMTF1 as a key transcription factor driving neural stem cell regeneration during aging. The study ...

Drosophila neural stem cells, known as neuroblasts, exemplify an ideal model to investigate the intricate interplay between intrinsic programmes and extrinsic signals that govern neural development.

Vision is one of the most crucial human senses, yet more than 300 million people worldwide are at risk of vision loss due to various retinal diseases. While recent advancements in retinal disease ...

A study led by Cambridge researchers has shed light on how neural stem cell grafts could help restore myelin in the central nervous system. The findings suggest that neural stem cell-based therapies ...

In a 2022 study, scientists transplanted a cluster of human neurons into developing rat brains and discovered that these cells integrated and matured alongside rat neurons. 1 The researchers could ...

Neural stem cells (NSCs) are undifferentiated cells capable of extensive self‐renewal and the production of specialised cell types, including neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. In the adult ...

Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...

For much of the 20th century it was thought that the adult brain was incapable of regeneration. This view has since shifted dramatically and neurogenesis – the birth of new neurons – is now a widely ...
