Introduction: Neurosphere culture is widely used to expand neural stem and progenitor cells (NSPCs) of the nervous system. Understanding the identity of NSPCs, such as the principals involved in ...

Finally, to examine the role of birth-induced upregulation of Glul in RG, they generated Glul-knockdown and -overexpression lentiviruses and infected them to RG in vivo. Their experiments ...

Summary: Researchers have developed a flexible, biodegradable electrode capable of stimulating neural precursor cells (NPCs) in the brain, offering a safer and more precise alternative for neural ...

Brain implants, made from small clusters of brain cells, could help restore neural pathways damaged by Parkinson’s disease.

Jan. 31, 2025 — Prolonged illnesses like cancer and chronic infections often leave the immune system in a state of exhaustion, where its frontline defenders -- T cells -- lose their ability to ...

It's not just that you start to slowly (or sometimes not so slowly) begin losing your mental capacity as you age — your brain actually gets smaller the older you get, shrinking about 5% per decade ...

This study provides a valuable new resource to investigate the molecular basis of the particular features characterizing the pipefish embryo. The authors found both unique and shared gene expression ...

For over a decade, smaller clinical trials have explored the safety and feasibility of these particular stem cell approaches and found them beneficial for people with MS. Neural stem cells are ...

As the name suggests, neural networks are inspired by the brain. A neural network is designed to mimic how our brains work to recognize complex patterns and improve over time. Neural networks ...
