Neural stem cells (NSCs) are undifferentiated cells capable of extensive self‐renewal and the production of specialised cell types, including neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. In the adult ...

Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have found that a key ...

As we get older, everything in our bodies age, even our cells. But brain cells are different. Most neurons last a lifetime, and the adult brain even contains several areas that can make new neurons ...

Northeastern University scientists have discovered that a protein in the human brain could potentially be used to grow new neurons in the lab and enhance brain processes affected by aging or ...

An international team of neuroscientists, led by Duke-NUS Medical School, have uncovered a mechanism that controls the reactivation of neural stem cells, which are crucial for repairing and ...

The brain's mechanisms for repairing injuries caused by trauma or degenerative diseases are not yet known in detail. Now, a study by the University of Barcelona describes a new strategy based on stem ...

Future Neurology. 2012;7(3):279-285. In the postischemic brain, newborn neurons can be supplied from the SVZ, the SGZ and the neocortical layer, but the number is very small and it is now unclear ...

This recently published exploration into the subventricular zone (SVZ) highlights its critical role in neural regeneration, neurodegenerative diseases, and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The SVZ, a ...

The study used large-scale CRISPR gene-editing technology to systematically determine which genes are required as embryonic stem cells develop into brain cells.

A novel study has unveiled a technique that enhances stem cell therapy for neurodegenerative diseases by combining magnetic guidance with localized ultrasound stimulation. This approach successfully ...
