For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

Scientists at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, (NUS Medicine), have identified a molecular switch that helps aging brains ...

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

Brain microphysiological systems are reshaping in vitro neurotoxicity testing through functional validation and advanced ...

Explore the groundbreaking research on brain organoids that mimics glioblastoma in the human brain for better treatment ...

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular “traffic cops” known ...

Employing stem cells to heal damaged brain tissue Rust and his colleagues reprogrammed human blood cells into neural stem cells—which can mature into neurons—and transplanted them into the damaged ...

Every cell in the body has the same DNA, but different cell types—such as muscle or brain cells—use different parts of it. Transcription factors help cells activate specific genes by reading certain ...

Using cortical organoids from individuals with autism, researchers tracked gene activity over development. Early ...
