The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from ...

An early-stage study has found that a common chemotherapy drug disrupts lymphatic cells in the tissue surrounding the brain.

Scripps Research neuroscientist Giordano Lippi is the recipient of a $4 million grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) to study haploinsufficiency, a condition where only ...

MIT scientists have developed a new 3D human brain tissue model that could change how researchers study neurological diseases. The platform, called Multicellular Integrated Brains or miBrains, ...

Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) have identified an innovation in stem cell therapy to regenerate neural cells in the brain after cardiac arrest in an animal model.

Researchers have developed a model that rapidly converts stem cells to brain cells with protein structures characteristic of Parkinson's disease (PD), enabling the study of the condition's unique and ...

Grown from individual donors' induced pluripotent stem cells, these models—dubbed Multicellular ... senior scientist at Arbor ...

Microscopy image of a human stem cell-derived hippocampal organoid. When the tissue carries an epilepsy-causing variant in the SCN8A gene, inhibitory neurons (seen in red) are disrupted, and ...

In a potentially major breakthrough for regenerative medicine, scientists at MIT have developed a way to convert skin cells directly into brain cells extremely efficiently, without needing to go ...
