A new experimental system which uses embryonic stem cells reprogrammed into neurons has the potential to assess the pathogenic effects of a drug on brain development.
Findings could help to develop new treatments to restore site when connections between the eyes and brain are damaged, researchers say.
A new study reveals subplate cells may not simply disappear, they may, instead, be migrating to different levels of the cortex. In essence, subplate cells may become part of the cerebral cortex.
Researchers have developed more sophisticated organoid models to help provide new insights into a range of neurological and psychological disorders.
UCLA researchers have successfully transformed human stem cells into sensory interneurons.
Researchers have developed a new method of reducing the time it takes to grow mini brain models in the lab. This may accelerate research into diseases and injury that affect the nervous system.
Researchers have defined a process that can help to create more realistic human blood-brain barriers in a dish.
Researchers report that a type of lab-grown human nerve cells can partner with heart muscle cells to stimulate contractions.
According to a new study, rats with hypopituitarism received pituitary cell transplants, which promoted normal hormone release.
Researchers have developed a new method that efficiently turns human stem cells into retinal ganglion cells.
