Neural stem cells (NSCs) are undifferentiated cells capable of extensive self‐renewal and the production of specialised cell types, including neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. In the adult ...

As we get older, everything in our bodies age, even our cells. But brain cells are different. Most neurons last a lifetime, and the adult brain even contains several areas that can make new neurons ...

Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have found that a key ...

An international team of neuroscientists, led by Duke-NUS Medical School, have uncovered a mechanism that controls the reactivation of neural stem cells, which are crucial for repairing and ...

Scientists have discovered a novel pathway to wake up dormant neural stem cells, offering potential new therapies for neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, learning disabilities, and cerebral ...

Neural stem cells (NSCs) are important for the development and regeneration of the nervous system. After the initial development of the brain, neural stem cells typically enter a dormant state, ...

The brain's mechanisms for repairing injuries caused by trauma or degenerative diseases are not yet known in detail. Now, a study by the University of Barcelona describes a new strategy based on stem ...

Stem cells in the brain, called neural stem cells (NSCs), have the ability to proliferate, differentiate, and undergo a process of cell death. Most of the NSCs in our brains exist in a dormant state, ...

A team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of ...

Future Neurology. 2012;7(3):279-285. In the postischemic brain, newborn neurons can be supplied from the SVZ, the SGZ and the neocortical layer, but the number is very small and it is now unclear ...
