The results of a Phase 1 clinical trial involving stem cells from a patient's own bone marrow used to treat traumatic brain injury in children show that the procedure is safe. Read More
Researchers from the University of Minnesota’s Lillehei Heart Institute have effectively treated muscular dystrophy in mice using human stem cells... Read More
Researchers find the infant brain does not control its blood flow in the same way as the adult brain. The findings could change the way researchers study brain development in infants and children. Read More
Mental illness suspect genes are among the most environmentally responsive. For the first time, scientists have tracked the activity, across... Read More
By increasing the signaling activity of a protein called muscle skeletal receptor tyrosine-protein kinase (MuSK), researchers were able to keep nerve cells attached to muscle longer into the progression of the disease in a mouse model of ALS. Read More
UC Irvine neuroscientists have developed a way to stop epileptic seizures with fiber-optic light signals, heralding a novel opportunity to treat the most severe manifestations of the brain disorder. Read More
Researchers have shown that infrared and Raman spectroscopy – coupled with statistical analysis – can be used to tell the difference between normal brain tissue and the different tumor types that may arise in this tissue, based on its individual biochemical-cell ‘fingerprint’. Read More
Our interpretation of the world around us may have more in common with the impossible staircase illusion than it does... Read More
Perhaps no other biochemist in the world has his own baseball card, but University of Massachusetts Amherst doctoral student Elih... Read More
Immune cells “sculpt” circuits in the brain by eating away excess connections Findings offer a fresh look at developmental and... Read More
NIH-funded study shows progress in brain-computer interface technology. In an ongoing clinical trial, a paralyzed woman was able to reach... Read More
