A Japanese research team has demonstrated in rat experiments that stem cells from human primary tooth pulp may help treat ...

In cell culture experiments, stem cells from human baby teeth promoted neural cell proliferation. In rat models, the stem ...

A groundbreaking clinical trial is testing whether specially engineered stem cells can help the brain restore its own dopamine production in people with Parkinson’s disease. Because the condition is ...

Explore groundbreaking research on cerebral palsy treatments that could offer new hope for affected children and families.

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 ...

When someone has a stroke—a leading worldwide cause of death and disability—time is of the essence. Almost nine out of 10 cases are ischemic strokes, caused by restricted blood flow in the brain, and ...

As we age, neuron production declines in the human brain, but scientists just identified the protein key to regenerating neural stem cells.

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 ...

The promise of reclaiming youthful cognitive function has long been a holy grail for neuroscientists, but researchers may have just uncovered a critical microscopic switch that dictates how well our ...

A team of scientists—including Agnieszka Ciesielska (left), Barbara Klein (center), and Jeanne Paz (right)—showed that modified stem cells can improve brain activity, even when administered more than ...
