The federal government is looking for researchers who can, in 5 years, develop stem cell treatments to repair brain damage caused by stroke, neurodegeneration, and trauma. The Functional Repair of ...

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 ...

Scientists identify a "master regulator" that may reset Brain Aging by controlling tau and gene expression in neurons.

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the cornea—can heal from minor scratches within a single day. The brain is not one ...

When someone has a stroke—a leading worldwide cause of death and disability—time is of the essence. Almost nine out of 10 cases are ischemic strokes, caused by restricted blood flow in the brain, and ...

Researchers identified DMTF1 as a key transcription factor driving neural stem cell regeneration during aging. The study ...

The human brain is often compared to a computer, but the latest wave of research shows it is closer to a self-building city, ...

Our brain is an energy-efficient marvel, with 86 billion neurons and trillions of connections running on just 20 watts—the energy of a single lightbulb. Swiss innovators at Final Spark are ...
