Northeastern University scientists have discovered that a protein in the human brain could potentially be used to grow new ...

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

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

However, microglia and their organelles have been difficult to study because existing stem cell and animal models insufficiently resemble microglia in the human brain, and because microglia ...

Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition driven by the loss of dopamine-producing neurons, which causes tremors, ...

A team of researchers from more than ten laboratories in Europe, Asia and North America examined newly identified cells in mice called peripheral neural stem cells. These cells share important ...

Stem cells are cells that have the capacity to self-renew by dividing and to develop into more mature, specialised cells. Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent ...

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 ...

Niamh McNamara recently completed her PhD on microglial regulation of myelin integrity at the ... New methods for deriving macrophages from induced pluripotent stem cells are easier to scale and ...

Delve into how the biotech industry is pivoting from the amyloid hypothesis to find new Alzheimer's disease treatments.

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 ...
