Tim-3, a molecule involved in immune regulation, hinders plaque removal in Alzheimer’s disease. Blocking it in microglia improved brain health in mice, making it a potential treatment target. Tim-3 is ...

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 ...

New research shows that the adult brain can generate new neurons that integrate into key motor circuits, findings that may point to a new way to treat neurogenerative disorders.

The cells with electrophysiological activity obtained at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) are opening up new avenues for the study of neurodegenerative diseases and the development of ...

New research shows that the adult brain can generate new neurons that integrate into key motor circuits. The findings demonstrate that stimulating natural brain processes may help repair damaged ...

“This confirmation by our talented team of researchers demonstrates that fibroblasts can support the regeneration of myelin sheath, marking a potentially significant step in the utilization of a ...

A new study published in Nature offers the most detailed map to date of how individual cell types in the brain change with age. Scientists analyzed over 1.2 million brain cells from young and aged ...

Mapping the density, molecular features and energy-transformation capacity of cell organelles called mitochondria in the brain reveals region- and cell-type-specific variability that tracks with ...

"The intestine has an enormous ability to regenerate itself after injury, and it does this through a model of dedifferentiation," Dempsey explains. "The cells dedifferentiate back into a type of ...

The next step is to test this method in clinical trials, with plans to extend this approach to regenerate other tissues, including those without existing adult stem cells, such as the heart.
