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 ...

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 ...

Induced pluripotent stem cells are being tested to treat blindness, paralysis, Parkinson’s disease and more. Approvals might ...

The research team at the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences confirmed the existence of microglia — a type of immune cellin the peripheral nervous system, ...

Unfortunately, these drugs carry their own risks and side effects.” In stem-cell-derived neural grafting, human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), adult cells such as skin cells reprogrammed to act ...

Microglia are ... with skin cells from a person. These cells are then reprogrammed or ‘set back to factory setting’ to get versatile pluripotent stem cells—called human-induced pluripotent ...

The microglia, a group of cells which are nicknamed the ‘housekeepers’ of the brain play an integral role in maintaining neural health. These tiny but mighty cells are the brain’s first ...
