Aging is the price paid for the ability of experiencing existence, one might philosophize. Natural cellular aging begins with ...

Professor Ralf Jauch (centre), the School of Biomedical Sciences, HKUMed, and his research team have developed an innovative method to transform blood and skin cells into neural stem cells, overcoming ...

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 ...

Researchers have discovered the mechanism which allows adult brain stem cells to express genes that maintain their identity and those for neuronal differentiation without conflicts in cellular ...

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular "traffic cops" known ...

The discovery of a new type of stem cell in the brain could usher in better treatments for the deadliest brain tumor. UCSF scientists have discovered a stem cell in the young brain that's capable of ...

A cell culture plate with pluripotent stem cells, which can differentiate into any kind of cell in the body. National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences A treatment that could replenish cells ...

Like the seeds of a forest, a few cells in embryos eventually sprout into an ecosystem of brain cells. Neurons get the most recognition for their computing power. But a host of other cells provides ...

UCLA researchers used patient-derived stem cells to model how gene variants that cause developmental and epileptic encephalopathy type 13, a rare genetic childhood epilepsy, affect different regions ...

New Delhi, October 5, 2026: The Centre has asked states to ensure that hospitals follow national guidelines for brain stem death certification as part of efforts to strengthen and streamline organ ...
