A research group from Nagoya City University has elucidated the significance of birth in the maintenance of neural stem cells ...

We have demonstrated that cranial irradiation markedly alters hippocampal progenitor-cell biology. Within the irradiated hippocampus, precursor proliferation is reduced by 62% and neuro-genesis is ...

As an embryo grows, there is a continuous stream of communication between cells to form tissues and organs. Cells need to read numerous cues from their environment, and these may be chemical or ...

NEVACS uses event cameras and neural networks to analyse cells dynamically, reshaping diagnostics and research.

A research group led by Kazunobu Sawamoto, a professor at Nagoya City University and National Institute for Physiological Sciences, and Koya Kawase, a ...

Metabolic stress causes an increased Fas-FasL (receptor-ligand pair) expression in Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) leading to Fas-induced apoptosis. In this study, we discuss the exposure of NSCs to ...

Being able to noninvasively stimulate the deep brain without stimulating shallow regions is a key goal of non-invasive ...

When military personnel fire certain powerful weapons, they may be exposed to blast waves that damage blood vessels in the ...

Neural ageing is the process by which neural cells in the brain and peripheral nervous system deteriorate structurally and functionally over time. It is associated with a decline in sensory ...

Illuminating key biological pathways that underlie neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is the goal of a new ...

A research team at KAIST has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins that fundamentally drive phenomena such as cancer ...

Jan. 15, 2025 — While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows.
