Researchers at Keio University have begun using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) to treat and maybe even cure severe ...

Researchers have used genetic tools to investigate how specific nerve cells in the brain respond after a spinal cord injury.

The death of former U.S. Rep. Mia Love has brought renewed attention to an aggressive form of brain cancer that killed her at ...

Researchers found marathon running causes a temporary reduction in brain myelin, especially in areas related to motor ...

A paralysed man can stand on his own after receiving an injection of neural stem cells to treat his spinal cord injury. The ...

Advances in tissue engineering offer hope for spinal cord injury repair, utilizing biomaterials, stem cells, and bioactive ...

Working with mouse cells, the researchers developed a highly efficient conversion method that can produce more than 10 ...

Traditionally, converting a skin cell into a neuron involves first inducing it into a pluripotent stem cell state and then differentiating it into a neuron. The MIT researchers have now simplified ...

"The results reinforce ExoPTEN's potential to enhance the body's natural repair mechanisms following spinal cord injury. Notably ... which is crucial for oxygen and nutrient delivery to damaged ...

Researchers devised a process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron, eliminating the need to generate induced pluripotent stem cells. Such neurons could be used to treat spinal cord injuries ...
