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

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

Researchers have successfully developed nerve grafts, currently being trialed as a treatment for Parkinson’s disease, that ...

The identification of peripheral neural stem cells could transform the treatment of Parkinson's disease and spinal cord ...

A map of part of a mouse brain, which is expected to be generalisable to people, could help scientists understand behaviours, ...

For the first time, scientists have generated a functional neural pathway for sensing pain in a dish. This could help unravel ...

Neural stem and precursor cells reside in the ventricular lining of the fetal forebrain, and may provide a cellular substrate for brain repair. To selectively identify and extract these cells, we ...

A team of over 150 scientists has achieved what once seemed impossible: a complete wiring and activity map of a tiny section of a mammalian brain. This feat, part of the MICrONS Project, rivals the ...

Immediate use for the newly developed assembloids could include studying neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism.

Researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine have discovered a new way that neurons ...

Vision is one of the most crucial human senses, yet more than 300 million people worldwide are at risk of vision loss due to ...
