"The shortcut of generating neural stem cells from easily accessible sources could provide a faster, more cost-effective, and safer way to generate next-generation stem cells, opening the doors to ...

The STEM-PD research team will now continue the long-term follow-up of the participants to further evaluate safety, graft function, and clinical benefit.

Researchers have discovered the mechanism which allows adult brain stem cells to express genes that maintain their identity and those for neuronal differentiation without conflicts in cellular ...

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular "traffic cops" known ...

Andrew Cassy had spent his working life in a telecommunications research department until a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease in 2010 pushed him into early retirement. Curious about his illness, which ...

Psychological stress may alter the gut microbiome, potentially accelerating the aging process in bone marrow stem cells, a ...

Like the seeds of a forest, a few cells in embryos eventually sprout into an ecosystem of brain cells. Neurons get the most recognition for their computing power. But a host of other cells provides ...

Scientists at Keck Medicine of USC are testing an experimental stem cell therapy that aims to restore the brain’s ability to produce dopamine, the chemical whose loss drives Parkinson’s disease. The ...

ANCHOR, a 3D human brainstem atlas, combines MRI and microscopy imaging to help researchers study neurodegenerative diseases ...
