Scientists have identified a previously unknown type of neural stem cell (pNSC) that exists outside the brain and spinal cord, overturning decades of neuroscience dogma.

For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international ...

Organoids have revolutionized science and medicine, providing platforms for disease modeling, drug testing, and understanding ...

The microglia, a group of cells which are nicknamed the ‘housekeepers’ of the brain play an integral role in maintaining ...

Overactivation of the brain’s immune cells, called microglia, may play a role in cognitive impairments ... New methods for deriving macrophages from induced pluripotent stem cells are easier to scale ...

microglia, and neuro-immune interactions in neurological disorders. Furthermore, we are working on engineering human stem cell-derived neural and immune cells, with the aim of creating innovative cell ...

Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent, depending on the number of cell types to which they can give rise. We show that multipotent neural stem cells (NSCs ...
