Using brain organoid models, researchers have identified how the brain grows much larger and has three times as many neurons, as the brains of chimpanzees and gorillas. Read More
Certain progenitor cells in the bronchi are mainly responsible for producing coronavirus receptors. These cells normally develop into respiratory tract sells linked with cilia, that clear bacteria out of the lungs. Read More
Although observed in other species, researchers report hippocampal neurogenesis does not persist through adult life in humans. Researchers say human hippocampal neurogenesis is not detectable in the adult brain. Read More
Researchers report a thyroid hormone is critical for the earliest stages of brain development. Read More
According to researchers, a single infusion of HSPCs may halt cellular damage caused by Friedreich's ataxia. Read More
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have made a significant discovery as to how schizophrenia may occur. They discovered a genetic defect that causes damage to glial cells may also impair the production of myelin. Researchers believe the lack of myelin may be a significant contributor to the development of schizophrenia in some patients. Read More
Researchers implicate KROXO20, a gene associated with neuron development, and SCF in hair graying and balding. They believe the findings could answer additional questions about human aging. Read More
A newly study reports on a comprehensive characterization of a large set of iPSCs. Read More
A new study sheds light on the mechanisms that allow progenitor cells to generate neurons. Read More
Researchers hope new findings could lead to better control of the production of insulin producing endocrine cells. Read More
According to a recently published stem cell study, new cells are quick to respond to sensory stimuli and adopt a function. Read More
Working with fruit flies, researchers identify a mechanism which helps explain how neurons which make up the visual system are generated. Read More
