Investigational dopaminergic cell replacement therapy shows safety and preliminary motor improvements in early-phase Parkinson disease clinical trials.

In an interview published in Brain Medicine, Dr. Alysson Muotri—Professor in the Department of Pediatrics and Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the UC San Diego School of Medicine and director of 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.

The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from trauma, stroke, or disease—they rarely grow back. Scientists have been ...

Stem cells found in the lining of the mouth could help make the most aggressive form of brain cancer easier to treat, ...

Like the seeds of a forest, a few cells in embryos eventually sprout into an ecosystem of brain cells. Neurons get the most recognition for their computing power. But a host of other cells provides ...

Why is the elephant trunk so wrinkly? It sounds like the start of one of Aesop’s fables. But in a new study in the journal Royal Society Open Science, researchers offer up some answers. This all ...
