Research shows it is possible to stimulate stem cells in the spinal cord to produce large amounts of new oligodendrocytes. Read More
Stem cells derived neurons integrate well into the correct regions of the brain, connecting with native neurons and restoring motor function in mouse models of Parkinson's disease. Read More
Study suggests an alternative strategy for restoring cellular abnormalities in in-vitro models of Parkinson's disease. Read More
Training neural circuits for tissue engineering at youthful stages generates a better response than training mature cells. Read More
Glioblastoma brain cancer originates from a pool of stem cells that can be a significant distance away from where the tumor eventually forms. Read More
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
