In the hippocampus, a critical brain region for learning and memory, new cells emerge in some people into late adulthood, ...

Not only do neural progenitors persist in the adult brain, but many of these cells are in active stages of division.

The team suspects that neurogenesis happens in other parts of the adult brain, too. In mice, new neurons are regularly made ...

Cell therapy, involving adult stem cells from bone marrow, has been shown to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in severe heart failure patients, according to a new study.
