For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international study, led by Hans Schöler of the Max Planck Institute for Molecular ...

Research led by the SickKids Research Institute in Toronto and the University of Pennsylvania, has found that immune-related ...

A new study suggests that stem cells thought to be dormant may offer clues to why our sense of smell declines or is lost. Using a newly devised, three-dimensional model to study the regeneration of ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Every process has a beginning and end, but sometimes the middle segment is the most interesting. This is an image of a neural stem cell in the midst of the process of differentiating into a neuron. In ...

In the mouse brain, nuclear RNAs can last for years with some of them potentially helping to maintain genome integrity. “The idea that we have these very long-lasting structural RNAs is surprising and ...

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.
