The origin of some neuropsychiatric diseases, such as autism, bipolar disorder, or depression, and certain neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, can be found in very early stages of ...

Brain damage caused by blocked blood vessels may be treatable using injections of stem cells, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Zurich and the University of Southern ...

Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have identified a mechanism that protects the female ...

Yale University researchers have identified a molecular mechanism driving the structural abnormalities leading to lissencephaly that have, until recently, been elusive. Further, this research, ...

The discovery of a new type of stem cell in the brain could usher in better treatments for the deadliest brain tumor. UCSF scientists have discovered a stem cell in the young brain that's capable of ...

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 ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

The brain's mechanisms for repairing injuries caused by trauma or degenerative diseases are not yet known in detail. Now, a study from the University of Barcelona describes a new strategy based on ...

A study by BRIC-RGCB scientists has unveiled new insights into brain development and neural stem cell maintenance, ...

Among incurable inherited metabolic diseases, mitochondrial diseases represent a major therapeutic challenge, as they can be caused by mutations in oxidative phosphorylation genes that are encoded by ...

A specific group of nerve cells in the brain stem appears to control how semaglutide affects appetite and weight - without causing nausea. The discovery, made at the University of Gothenburg, could ...
