The human brain is made up of billions of nerve cells (neurons) that communicate with each other in vast, interconnected ...

Not only do neural progenitors persist in the adult brain, but many of these cells are in active stages of division.

A new study finds rare neural stem cells in the adult human hippocampus, suggesting some brains can generate new neurons into ...

Huntington's disease has long defied attempts to rescue suffering neurons. A new study in Cell Reports shows that transplanting healthy human glial progenitor cells into the brains of adult animal ...

Here, after transplantation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in the SNpc of two different mouse models of Parkinson's disease, we significantly ameliorated the dopaminergic neuron ...

DC, daughter cell; N, neuron; NPC, neural progenitor cell; P, progenitor, P, probability. Here, we can distinguish two concepts of mediating asymmetrically fated daughter cells, namely division ...

Changes in protein production across stages of motor neuron development were evident in nerve cells from SMA patients, a study reports.

Cells are classified by differentiation stage according to expression of specific markers (neuronal progenitor: PAX3 and PAX7; DI5 interneuron: POU4F1 and TLX3; V3 interneuron: SIM1; and motor neuron: ...

This indicated that MFN2 knockdown may not affect the initial differentiation from hESCs to spinal motor neuron progenitor cells. Further, we determined whether MFN2 knockdown affected the final ...
