A collection of studies that chart how mammalian brain cells grow and differentiate is a ‘very valuable’ tool for ...

The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from trauma, stroke, or disease—they rarely grow back.

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 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.

In laboratories, some are cultivating human brain cells to transform them into biological circuits for supercomputers—a ...

The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, on Thursday unveiled the Functional Repair of Neocortical Tissue (FRONT) ...
