What makes the human brain unique? A Yale study unlocks new insights into genetic changes that shaped our evolution.

Stem-cell differentiation is the process by which a more specialised cell is formed from a stem cell, leading to loss of some of the stem cell's developmental potential. Stem-cell differentiation ...

A type of aggressive, treatment-resistant brain tumor has a distinct population of immune cells that support its growth, according to new research led by investigators at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel ...

Scientists have discovered that neural stem cells (NSCs) receive constant feedback from their daughter cells, influencing whether they remain dormant or activate to form new neurons and glia.

A type of aggressive, treatment-resistant brain tumor has a distinct population of immune cells that support its growth, ...

This dissertation focuses on the glial protein GFAP and Alexander disease, a severe neurological disorder primarily affecting young children. Mutations in the GFAP gene disrupt astrocyte function, ...

The trial comes as a new study highlighted differences in how genes are activated in brain tumour cells compared to healthy ...

Grim reapers. Super veggies. Stem cell IVs. Inside multi-millionaire tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson's 'Don't Die' Summit.

A University of Ottawa neuroscientist has led a Canadian research team to reveal important new insights into the activation dynamics of neural stem cells (NSCs). These are the stem cells that build ...

The team’s approach could offer a transformative path for children with medulloblastoma and other aggressive types of brain ...

Scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have discovered a way to prevent tumour growth in a subtype of ...

Adult stem cells self-renew and differentiate to build, maintain and repair tissues. This Review discusses recent insights into the contribution of mechanical forces produced by epithelial stem ...
