Scientists are developing a "sponge" that can soak up pain signals in the body before they reach the brain, potentially ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

A study by BRIC-RGCB scientists has unveiled new insights into brain development and neural stem cell maintenance, ...

Researchers identified DMTF1 as a key transcription factor driving neural stem cell regeneration during aging. The study ...

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

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from trauma, stroke, or disease—they rarely grow back. Scientists have been ...

Every year, millions of lives are suddenly, swiftly transformed by a stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel travelling towards the brain becomes obstructed, causing neurons to die off. Strokes are ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the cornea—can heal from minor scratches within a single day. The brain is not one ...
