A breakthrough from the University of Cambridge is offering new hope for one of medicine’s most stubborn challenges: ...

The first organized stem cell culture model that resembles all three sections of the embryonic brain and spinal cord, and produces a full model of the early stages of the human central nervous system, ...

Explore how stem cell biology is advancing strategies to repair the injured nervous system and support regeneration following ...

When the myelin sheath that surrounds nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord becomes damaged, a number of debilitating conditions can result that limit mobility, inhibit independence and reduce ...

A tiny clump of lab-grown human brain cells, no bigger than a lentil, sent nerve fibers into a slice of spinal cord tissue and made a piece of muscle twitch. That alone would be a milestone. But the ...

For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international study, led by Hans Schöler of the Max Planck Institute for Molecular ...

A phase 1 clinical trial demonstrated the long-term safety and feasibility of neural stem cell transplantation for treating chronic spinal cord injuries. The corresponding study was published in Cell ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A University of Minnesota Twin Cities research team has combined 3D printing, stem cell biology, and lab-grown tissues to address ...

A pharmaceutical startup plans to begin a clinical trial in 2027 on a treatment for spinal cord injuries that uses nerve ...

Neurons from grafted stem cells contain intrinsic codes for navigating and forming connections, which may improve cell therapy for a brain short-circuited by stroke. Some parts of our bodies bounce ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — When the myelin sheath that surrounds nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord becomes damaged, a number of debilitating conditions can result that limit mobility, inhibit ...
