Professor Ralf Jauch (centre), the School of Biomedical Sciences, HKUMed, and his research team have developed an innovative method to transform blood and skin cells into neural stem cells, overcoming ...

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 ...

Researchers have discovered the mechanism which allows adult brain stem cells to express genes that maintain their identity and those for neuronal differentiation without conflicts in cellular ...

UCLA researchers show for the first time that human brain assembloids can reproduce the hallmark electrical changes seen ...

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular "traffic cops" known ...

Singapore's first biologically integrated server rack began operating today at the National University of Singapore's Life Sciences Institute, running on 16 million living human neurons distributed ...

Key takeawaysUCLA researchers showed for the first time that lab-grown human brain assembloids can reproduce the electrical ...

UCLA researchers used patient-derived stem cells to model how gene variants that cause developmental and epileptic encephalopathy type 13, a rare genetic childhood epilepsy, affect different regions ...

The Centre has asked states to ensure hospitals follow uniform brain stem death certification guidelines to strengthen deceased organ donation. NOTTO said standardised certification can improve ...

The discovery of a new type of stem cell in the brain could usher in better treatments for the deadliest brain tumor. UCSF scientists have discovered a stem cell in the young brain that's capable of ...

A recent study suggests that the human brain emerges from two separate organs, a discovery that may impact future treatments ...
