Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers of the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands ...

To coax the brain into healing itself, researchers have searched high and low for methods that expand the brain’s progenitor cell population. In one approach, scientists isolate cells from different ...

Now, the authors of a study published in Cell Stem Cell last week (January 30) have connected that overgrowth with replication stress, subsequent DNA damage, and dysfunction in neural progenitor cells ...

Here we show that the deficit in neurogenesis reflects alterations in the microenvironment that regulates progenitor-cell fate, as well as a defect in the proliferative capacity of the neural ...

During development, neural stem cells in the spinal cord differentiate into various neural cells that form complex circuits. As the spinal cord matures, these progenitor cells lose their ...

A University of Ottawa neuroscientist has led a Canadian research team to reveal important new insights into the activation dynamics of neural stem cells (NSCs). These are the stem cells that build ...

It is now widely accepted that polydendrocytes are oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs ... fate of polydendrocytes and their role in the neural network in the mammalian CNS.

Lineage Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (NYSE American and TASE: LCTX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing allogeneic ...

Neural progenitor cells grown on the pillars showed higher levels of a marker of mature neurons, compared to those grown on flat surfaces. "This shows that the system not only influences the ...
