Scientists have discovered that transplanted stem cell-derived brain cells may do far more than simply survive after a stroke ...

Scientists successfully reversed stroke paralysis in mice by transplanting neural stem cells that regrew brain tissue and ...

Two experimental drug molecules promoted myelin repair in MS disease models, pointing toward a possible future route for ...

DNA damage from inflammation outpaces the cells’ ability to self-repair. The finding, in human brain cells and mice, could ...

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 ...

Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons act as the brain’s rhythm keepers. By regulating local circuit activity and maintaining excitation–inhibition balance, they help stabilize cortical network function. When ...

An animal study suggests short-term brain inflammation may help repair myelin and could inform future repair-focused treatments for MS.

Miniature brain models (organoids) help evaluate treatments for myelin damage in multiple sclerosis. These human-derived ...

Insights about brain cell damage after stroke and repair after transplant could pave the way for therapies that extend the treatment window, as revealed in a lab study led by the Keck School of ...

People who carry the APOE2 version of the apolipoprotein E gene are more likely to live to advanced age and are partly ...

Research reveals why Alzheimer’s brain damage doesn’t always lead to dementia, highlighting the role of protective brain ...
