Basel, Switzerland - In an extraordinary leap forward for microbiome-based therapeutics, Swiss Biome has revealed the worlds ...

The potential benefits of organoids for fundamental research and medicine are huge. Efforts to establish proper boundaries ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

Scientists have created a super-map of the brain containing 30 million cells to trace the prenatal origins of diseases.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny bubbles released by cells, acting as cargo vessels through which cells exchange signals and thus communicate. A paper has demonstrated that this form of cellular ...

Duke University Medical Center-led research has identified a human-specific DNA enhancer that regulates neural progenitor proliferation and cortical size. Small genetic changes in HARE5 amplify a key ...

A new method announced by the Abu Dhabi Stem Cells Center enables scientists to produce brain stem cells from a patient’s own ...

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) is honoring Paola Arlotta, Ph.D., with this year’s ISSCR Momentum Award. Dr. Arlotta is the Golub Family Professor of the Department of Stem ...

For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international study, led by Hans Schöler of the Max Planck Institute for Molecular ...

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene linked to a severe neurodevelopmental disorder not previously described.

The human brain undergoes significant development during the final prenatal months and through the first year of life. And while scientists have begun to map the developmental trajectories of this ...
