Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far ...

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 ...

MIT scientists have developed a way to convert skin stem cells directly into brain cells extremely efficiently, without needing to go through the intermediate step of converting them to stem cells ...

Stem Cell Therapy in the context of brain tumours refers to the use of stem cells to either deliver targeted treatments directly to tumour sites or to support the repair of tissue damaged by the ...

When doctors describe your brain scan as a “starry sky,” it’s not good TB is the deadliest infection in the world—but it doesn't often look like this.

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain.

Many of the world’s best and brightest STEM researchers have long moved to the US. But now that brain gain is at risk of ...

A specific group of nerve cells in the brain stem appears to control how semaglutide affects appetite and weight - without causing nausea ...

A new analysis of brains from a variety of mammal species indicates that frontal-cortex expansion has occurred in all primates, not just in people, as scientists have traditionally assumed.

A bump in the elephant brain stem pointed scientists to the wrinkles on their trunks and the role those folds play in the animal’s life.

Researchers have used human neural stem cells to 3D print functional brain tissue that mimics the architecture of the cerebral cortex, the brain’s outermost layer. The breakthrough technique has ...

Researchers identified a unique methylation pattern in brain stem cells that could offer a way to reprogram astrocytes to treat nerve damage.
