The human brain contains various types of cells that collectively support its functions. In addition to neurons, nerve cells ...

A group of brain cells called orexin neurons appears to help us keep working when reaching a reward becomes increasingly ...

Researchers created a cell village culture system and Townlet algorithm to map genetic drivers of brain cell growth, 16p11.2 ...

How readily a cell divides and how well it survives are fundamental to life, shaping everything from organ size to the body's ability to withstand disease. That combination, known as cell fitness, isn ...

The cerebral cortex is densely packed with different nerve cells that enable us to perceive, think and act. Yet how these ...

Researchers published a new study mapping single-cell gene expression and neural synchronization during DBS in living human tissue.

Treatment with stem cells is safe and shows signs of slowing brain atrophy in people with progressive MS, per long-term early study data.

The federal government is looking for researchers who can, in 5 years, develop stem cell treatments to repair brain damage caused by stroke, neurodegeneration, and trauma. The Functional Repair of ...

Scientists at Keck Medicine of USC are testing an experimental stem cell therapy that aims to restore the brain’s ability to produce dopamine, the chemical whose loss drives Parkinson’s disease. The ...

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 ...
