Combining umbilical cord blood cells and growth factor treatments offers better therapeutic effects for TBI patients, a new study reports.
Researchers discover how a genetic code variation in the C9orf72 gene alters the shape of DNA, making cells more vulnerable to stress and apoptosis.
Transplanted stem cells help build a 'biobridge' which links uninjured brain regions to those damaged as a result of TBI, a new study shows.
According to a new study, over-expression of the Usp16 gene could be a major contributor to neurological deficits associated with Down syndrome.
Researchers suggest neural stem cells could be resistant to radiation. The stem cells could be roused from a hibernation-like state in order to reproduce and generate new cells which have the ability to migrate, replace injured cells and restore lost function.
Researchers have developed a new way in which to measure the shape of the huntingtin protein in living cells.
By turning skin cells of patients with Dravet syndrome into neurons, researchers create a miniature testing ground for epilepsy
Researchers discover four new potential biomarkers which characterize non-genetic ALS. The findings could provide new directions for diagnostics and treatment of ALS.
Examining the brains of Drosophila fruit flies, researchers discover a novel stem cell mechanism which could help explain how neurons form in humans.
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.
Transplanting human stem cells into rat models with ALS improved survival and muscle function, according to a new study.
A new study reports a single injection of human neural stem cells produce neuronal regeneration and improved the function and mobility of rats impaired by acute spinal cord injuries.
