Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

A new study from the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute now shows how human stem cell based therapy may help ...

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

Stem cell transplantation can reverse stroke damage, researchers at the University of Zurich report. Its beneficial effects include regeneration of neurons and restoration of motor functions, marking ...

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

When someone has a stroke—a leading worldwide cause of death and disability—time is of the essence. Almost nine out of 10 cases are ischemic strokes, caused by restricted blood flow in the brain, and ...

The federal government is looking for researchers who can, in 5 years, develop stem cell treatments to repair brain damage caused by stroke, neurodegeneration, and trauma. The Functional Repair of ...

Tiny cerebellar organoids in a culture flask. Credit: Sergio Bianco Brain organoids are grown in a lab using stem cells, and can mimic the functions of different regions of the brain like the cortex, ...

The human brain, as the seat of mental life—from the most complicated intellectual processes down to routine and unconscious bodily control—is necessarily enormously complex. The largest part of the ...

The brain is our body’s command center, the control tower for our body and mind—no wonder it’s the focus of intense research across the globe, with so much interest in figuring out the mysteries of ...
