An “extraordinary” brain network discovery shows that Parkinson’s disease may not be a movement disorder after all ...

Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have identified a mechanism that protects the female brain from genetic diseases. Although one of the two X chromosomes is ...

Brain damage caused by blocked blood vessels may be treatable using injections of stem cells, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Zurich and the University of Southern ...

Among incurable inherited metabolic diseases, mitochondrial diseases represent a major therapeutic challenge, as they can be caused by mutations in oxidative phosphorylation genes that are encoded by ...

The origin of some neuropsychiatric diseases, such as autism, bipolar disorder, or depression, and certain neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, can be found in very early stages of ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international study, led by Hans Schöler of the Max Planck Institute for Molecular ...

In a landmark discovery, researchers from QIMR Berghofer in collaboration with the Francis Crick Institute, have unlocked the secrets of how brain stem cells enter and exit a resting state called ...

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 ...

A study by BRIC-RGCB scientists has unveiled new insights into brain development and neural stem cell maintenance, ...

Yale University researchers have identified a molecular mechanism driving the structural abnormalities leading to lissencephaly that have, until recently, been elusive. Further, this research, ...

SEATTLE — SpaceX is scheduled to launch a rocket into space from Florida on Saturday, August 23, 2025, with some very special cargo on board. Cedars-Sinai researchers will send their first-ever heart ...
