Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

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 ...

As we age, neuron production declines in the human brain, but scientists just identified the protein key to regenerating neural stem cells.

Researchers used single-nucleus RNA sequencing and chromatin accessibility profiling to map human hippocampal neurogenesis across adulthood, aging, and Alzheimer’s disease. They found that chromatin ...

The congenital condition spina bifida is often treated surgically in the womb, but many children still go on to have mobility issues. The addition of a patch made up of stem cells from donated placent ...

Stem cell therapy performed on babies in the womb could reverse brain abnormalities linked to a severe birth defect, experts ...

Scientists revealed how the protein can be used to rejuvenates neural stem cells. Scientists have discovered a protein that could help reverse the aging of neural stem cells in the brain. It’s that ...

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

In a landmark discovery, researchers from QIMR Berghofer in collaboration with the Francis Crick Institute, have unlocked the secrets of how brain stem cells enter and exit a resting state called ...

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 ...
