Organoids, miniaturized, stem cell-derived versions of human organs, are revolutionizing biomedical research by offering human-specific models for disease study and drug testing. While they have ...

Induced neural progenitor cells (iNPCs), derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), are a relatively new method for modeling the cellular interactivity, biochemical alterations, and ...

Have you heard of deep brain stimulation (DBS)? For certain neurological movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease, DBS is ...

For some creatures, a lost body part is not necessarily a permanent affair. Salamanders can regrow limbs and zebrafish can ...

The nestin enhancer targeted GFP expression to neural progenitor cells. To label live neural progenitor cells in which nestin and musashi1 regulatory elements were transcriptionally active ...

Studies on cold-blooded animals, such as fish—known for their robust retinal regeneration—have shown that retinal injuries trigger Müller glia cells to dedifferentiate into neural progenitor ...

Blocking the PROX1 protein allowed KAIST researchers to regenerate damaged retinas and restore vision in mice. Vision is one ...

VIDEO: The study has revealed that the adult brain can generate new neurons that integrate into key motor circuits – an ...

In January 2025 (U.S. time), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officially approved the Investigational New Drug (IND) application submitted by XellSmart Biopharmaceutical (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.

The mammalian brain develops through a sophisticated, choreographed series of genetically regulated events: shaping distinct neural progenitor (early brain cell) domains, producing neurons from ...
