For biologists, seeing is believing. But sometimes biologists have a hard time seeing. One particularly vexing challenge is ...

Capitalizing on the flexibility of tiny cells inside the body's smallest blood vessels may be a powerful spinal cord repair strategy, new research suggests.

Chinese scientists have made a discovery about immune cells that opens possible new pathways for treating neurological diseases such as developmental disorders, nerve injury, abnormal pain and viral ...

New research shows Glycolysis -- the process of converting sugar into energy -- plays a key role in early development. More than fuel, Glycolysis doesn't just power cells -- it helps steer them toward ...

Two studies published in Nature found stem cell-derived products can not only be safely transplanted into the brain, but also ...

Brain aging may lead to a decline in immune system response and hinder the removal of aged cells. The accumulation of these ...

Scientists have identified a previously unknown type of neural stem cell (pNSC) that exists outside the brain and spinal cord ...

For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international ...

The symposium will focus on a key potential for stem cells — studying, even repairing, the brain and other parts of the nervous system. Topics include: What are the key mechanisms that underlie neural ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo. By labeling stem cells with a genetic 'barcode', they ...
