Researchers discover how a genetic code variation in the C9orf72 gene alters the shape of DNA, making cells more vulnerable to stress and apoptosis.
A new method for obtaining mature neuronal cells from reprogrammed skin cells allows researchers to safely and effectively study diseases such as schizophrenia and autism.
Neuroscience researchers show how astrocytes control the generation of new neurons in the brain. “In the brain, astrocytes control how many new neurons are formed from neural stem cells and survive to integrate into the existing neuronal networks. Astrocytes do this by secreting specific molecules but also by much less understood direct cell-cell interactions with stem cells”, says Prof. Milos Pekny.
Researchers find stem cells processed from bone marrow could be beneficial for stroke recovery.
New studies may help to explain the path from stem cells to dopamine neurons.
According to a new study, using an optogenetic technique, researchers have been able to control embryonic stem cell differentiation, enabling them to be transformed into neurons.
Researchers use CRISPR gene editing technology to rewire stem cells in order to fight inflammation caused by arthritis.
A team of researchers used CRISPR, a new gene editing technology, to repair a genetic mutation responsible for retinitis pigmentosa.
Using induced pluripotent stem cells which were grown into brain cells, researchers were provided with a way to look at early brain development in Down syndrome.
Transplanting human stem cells into rat models with ALS improved survival and muscle function, according to a new study.
By turning skin cells of patients with Dravet syndrome into neurons, researchers create a miniature testing ground for epilepsy
Researchers have developed a new way in which to measure the shape of the huntingtin protein in living cells.
