In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

Among the newly identified brain cell types were some in the neocortex and the striatum region, which controls movement and certain other functions. Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious ...

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the cornea—can heal from minor scratches within a single day. The brain is not one ...

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

Explore the connection between neurodegeneration and cellular senescence in understanding brain structure and ageing.
