Researchers used a blood protein wash to render brain tissue transparent down to 700 µm, witnessing live-firing activity ...
A tiny stack of printed nanomaterials, thinner than a human hair and flexible enough to bend with living tissue, just did ...
The amount of sugar in the brain plays a key role in governing the activity of the brain cells that make myelin, a study ...
Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...
In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells - one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult ...
Scientists have discovered that transplanted stem cell-derived brain cells may do far more than simply survive after a stroke ...
DNA damage from inflammation outpaces the cells’ ability to self-repair. The finding, in human brain cells and mice, could ...
Stem cells found in the lining of the mouth could help make the most aggressive form of brain cancer easier to treat, ...
Sleep is a vital physiological process that allows humans and other animals to restore both the mind and body, while also ...
Whenever I discuss stem cell therapies with non-biologist friends, I’m struck by how confused they often are about what stem cells actually are and what they do. There is particular confusion in ...
