A study by BRIC-RGCB scientists has unveiled new insights into brain development and neural stem cell maintenance, ...
Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the cornea—can heal from minor scratches within a single day. The brain is not one ...
A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.
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 ...
New scientific methods could one day render animal studies—the standard in research laboratories for more than 100 ...
When brain cells die in diseases like ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and frontotemporal dementia, they often activate a ...
The brain stem is a portion of the brain made of four distinct sections: the diencephalon, mesencephalon, pons, and medulla oblongata. Each of these sections has associated functions which are vital ...
Researchers at WashU Medicine identified a direct connection between cancer-related inflammation and the loss of motivation characteristic of advanced cancer. In a mouse study, they describe a brain ...
