The promise of reclaiming youthful cognitive function has long been a holy grail for neuroscientists, but researchers may ...

Researchers at UCLA Health and UC San Francisco have identified a specific molecular mechanism that explains why certain ...

A groundbreaking clinical trial is testing whether specially engineered stem cells can help the brain restore its own dopamine production in people with Parkinson’s disease. Because the condition is ...

Through a combination of human NSC analysis in the lab and mouse model experiments, the researchers singled out a protein ...

Researchers have identified a specific protein complex inside neurons that tags toxic tau fragments for destruction, offering the clearest explanation yet for why certain brain cells survive while ...

Every year, around 15 million babies worldwide are born before 37 weeks of gestation. Being born preterm can disrupt development, and earlier births increase the risk of life-changing health outcomes.

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can ...

A pioneering clinical trial is exploring whether lab-engineered stem cells can restore dopamine production in people with Parkinson’s disease.

A team of scientists—including Agnieszka Ciesielska (left), Barbara Klein (center), and Jeanne Paz (right)—showed that modified stem cells can improve brain activity, even when administered more than ...

The discovery of a new type of stem cell in the brain could usher in better treatments for the deadliest brain tumor. UCSF scientists have discovered a stem cell in the young brain that's capable of ...

Cell therapy is the treatment of disease or disability by the injection of cells into a patient. These might be the patient’s own cells or come from a donor. They might be engineered, manipulated, or ...
