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

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 ...

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.

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

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 ...

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.

The cover image was created using images of neural rosettes derived from human iPSCs with and without a 15q11.2 microdeletion (round circles) and images of radial glial cells in the developing ...

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

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