The retina is a thin layer of neural tissue at the back of the eye that detects light and converts it into signals, sent to the brain.

“During development and tissue regeneration, stem and progenitor cells give rise to differentiated cell types in defined numbers and proportions to properly generate and maintain organs and body plans ...

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have identified a novel trigger of a deadly form of ovarian cancer. Discovery of a subset of high-risk progenitor cells that reside in fallopian tube ...

Whether or not we grow new brain cells as adults has been the subject of an ongoing and often contentious debate. Now, evidence suggests that we can. This could help answer one of neuroscience’s most ...

Researchers use single-cell analysis to show how transplanted neural stem cells interact with the retina to preserve vision in retinitis pigmentosa.

How can a brain as sophisticated as ours arise from a single cell? This question, long at the heart of neuroscience research, ...
