Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular "traffic cops" known ...

Researchers have created model embryos from mouse stem cells that form a brain ... models reached the point where the entire brain, including the anterior portion, began to develop.

Within the brain, stem cells reside in the walls of ventricles — cavities that are filled with cerebrospinal fluid. In this region, only about 1 in 300 cells (0.3%) is a stem cell 3, so they are ...

Research in mice suggests that specific neurons within the brain stem act like the dial on a thermostat — fine-tuning inflammation as and when required. When you purchase through links on our ...

Age impedes the ability of the brain’s stem cells to churn out new cells, but the study’s authors found that reducing the activity of a particular gene rejuvenated these stem cells ...
