Cell types responsible for causing goosebumps are also important for regulating the stem cells that regenerate hair follicles and hair. Read More
Deactivation of the HERV-K gene may free stem cells to become neurons. Read More
Using patient-derived adult stem cells, researchers found fish oil created an antidepressant response. Read More
Researchers have developed a new model of early embryonic brain development. The model, called MiSTR, allows researchers to create tissue that contains different brain regions and place them next to each other. The model produces results similar to embryonic brain development at five weeks post-fertilization. Read More
Older mice who exercised had enhanced muscle repair capabilities. Findings suggest exercise can help restore youthful tissue repair. Read More
Transplanting ACE2-mesenchymal stem cells shows promise for the treatment of COVID-19. A small study reveals seven severely ill patients who received the stem cell transplant recovered and were discharged from hospital within 14 days. Read More
HIV infection leads to increased EIF2 signaling in microglia, astrocytes, and neurons. Study reveals how HIV infection and some antiretrovirals affect cognition and the central nervous system. Read More
Study examines the interactions between stem cells and neurons in both tissue regeneration and the development of cancerous tumors. Read More
Neural stem cells affect the trajectory and timing of division in brain development more than previously believed. The findings provide insight into the mechanisms controlling early brain development and shed light on the evolution of the brain. Read More
Combining advanced microscopy and mathematical modeling, researchers have discovered a pattern that governs the growth of neurons. Read More
Hailed by many as a breakthrough for neuroscience research, a new study reports brain-in-a-dish models may not be as useful as reported previously. The study reports instead of differentiating normally into the brain's distinctive cell types, cerebral organoids often express mixed genes normally found in different kinds of cells. Read More
