PINK1, a gene associated with Parkinson's disease, is not just responsible for the premature death of dopaminergic neurons, it also plays a key role in the neurogenesis of dopamine neurons throughout life. Read More
A newly developed hydrogel scaffold with regularly spaced pores assists in spinal cell growth and neuron regeneration following spinal cord injury. Read More
Study identifies 40 genes in mice that actively suppress axon regeneration in the central nervous system. Read More
Increasing lamin B1 levels in aging mice resulted in neural stem cell division and an increase in the number of new neurons. Read More
FOXO3, a gene linked to longevity in humans, protects neural stem cells from the negative effects of stress. Read More
A newly developed biodegradable microcapsule that delivers nerve growth factor guides the development of hippocampal neurons in in-vitro experiments. Read More
Mentally and physically demanding tasks trigger functional hypoxia across the brain. This oxygen shortage activates Epo, which stimulates the growth of new neurons and synapses. Read More
High concentrations of phytonutrients from apples stimulate neurogenesis and could help boost brain function. Read More
A new series of studies review the roles neuroplasticity and neurogenesis play in alcohol addiction and recovery. Read More
Experiencing trauma or extreme stress during childhood can lead to structural changes in the hippocampus and amygdala that can be seen decades later. Read More
The inhibition of GCK-IV kinases leads to robust neuroprotection while permitting axon regeneration. The findings could lead to new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases. Read More
Reductive stress promotes protein aggregation in neuroblastoma cells and impairs neurogenesis. Read More
