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

The researchers discovered that the protein responsible for binding neural stem cells in the human brain, Neuro-cadherin, also plays a key role in stimulating their differentiation. Neural stem cells ...

A novel study has unveiled a technique that enhances stem cell therapy for neurodegenerative diseases by combining magnetic ...

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

This three-day training course will provide hands-on training in all aspects of culturing human pluripotent stem cells. The course will include the following: Written training material, laboratory ...

This is an image of a neural stem cell in the midst of the process of differentiating into a neuron. In a mouse, neural stem cells have cell bodies that are generally about 12 micrometers across, or ...

George and his team identified a specific differentiation pattern depending on the ... the potential to mimic those found during development and aid neural regeneration following stem cell ...

Understanding the signals that regulate the appearance of glial differentiation in neural crest cells, and defining the role of positive and/or negative inductive signals or default mechanisms in ...

PROX1 is a protein found in neurons of the retina, hippocampus, and spinal cord, where it suppresses neural stem cell proliferation and promotes differentiation into neurons. The researchers ...

The UPV/EHU research group has obtained cells very similar to neurons; they "manage to produce electrical impulses like those of neurons by means of the differentiation of stem cells in human ...
