Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

A group of Chinese researchers has created a robot with a brain made of human stem cells. The technology is technically a "brain-on-a-chip," and the researchers have been working to train the robot to ...

Stem cell microbots travel from nose to brain to treat disease By Michael Irving November 22, 2021 Some day, microbots made of stem cells could be delivered through the nose into the brain to treat ...

Researchers have used human neural stem cells to 3D print functional brain tissue that mimics the architecture of the cerebral cortex, the brain’s outermost layer. The breakthrough technique has the ...

Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) have identified an innovation in stem cell therapy to regenerate neural cells in the brain after cardiac arrest in an animal model.

A new paper looks outside this brain region and reviews the various brain pathways that meet in the brain stem to control feeding behavior, using a technique that offers an unbiased look at the ...

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 ...

In a three-hour surgery, Dr. Warnke drilled two small holes in the back of Nemeth’s head. Next, guided by robots, he threaded two tiny tubes into the patient’s brain to precisely deposit a liquid ...

Aging affects all of us and leads to cell and tissue loss of function, multiple diseases, and eventually death. And, even after decades of robust research and billions of dollars spent, there are only ...

Your brainstem is the central apparatus of your entire nervous system. One portion of your brainstem is called the pons. The pons links your brain to your spinal cord. Your pons handles all of your ...
