A paralyzed man received an injection of reprogrammed stem cells that helped him stand and move on his own again.

In the first clinical study of its kind, researchers at Tokyo's Keio Unviersity have developed a stem cell treatment that ...

A paralysed man can stand on his own after receiving an injection of neural stem cells to treat his spinal cord injury. The ...

By By Katherine Casarrubias Gallardo Researchers injected induced pluripotent cells into four paralyzed patients, leading to mixed but promising results. Courtesy of NIH Image Gallery via ...

Zhang studies astrocytes because they are the most common glial cell in the brain and because they are neurons’ next of kin. “During development, neural stem cells generate neurons first and later go ...

Neural stem cells are multipotent adult stem cells present in the adult central nervous system that can self-renew, and give rise to new neurons and supporting cells called glial cells.

Pharmaceutical companies ramp up efforts to get the brain’s immune cells to help treat Alzheimer’s disease and other conditions, but not everyone agrees the approach will be effective.

A progress report for a phase 1 trial of CLD-101 in recurrent glioma shows safety and feasibility at multiple intracerebral ...

A new study in the peer-reviewed journal Stem Cells and Development describes the development of a co-culture system of neural organoids generated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) ...

We explore endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis, protein aggregates, neural development, and glial cells—all essential players in brain health and disease. At the heart of our mission is a passion for ...

The researchers discussed how NCC regulates the balance between different types of brain cells, such as neural progenitors, neurons, and glial cells, ensuring the proper structure and function of ...
