In many ways our ideas about CNS and PNS glial cells have changed along a similar trajectory during recent years. In both cases, novel and unexpected glial functions have been determined and glia ...

Using advanced microscopes that capture brain cell anatomy and activity, a portion of a mouse's brain was mapped and rendered ...

The identification of peripheral neural stem cells could transform the treatment of Parkinson's disease and spinal cord ...

Scientists have identified a previously unknown type of neural stem cell (pNSC) that exists outside the brain and spinal cord ...

For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international ...

Michael Barresi’s research interests are focused on how glial cells help wire the nervous system in the embryonic zebrafish brain. His lab discovered that astroglial cells provide a substrate for ...

Each received a dose of neural precursor cells derived from reprogrammed stem ... like state capable of transforming into neurons and glial cells. We’ve also seen researchers use stem cells ...

The detection of peripheral neural stem cells could transform the treatment of Parkinson's disease and spinal cord injuries ...

The Brain Prize 2025 went to neuro-oncologists Michelle Monje and Frank Winkler for pioneering the field of cancer n.

Despite substantial efforts, the molecular mechanisms by which 25-OHC affects glial cells in diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) remain unclear. Against this backdrop, a research ...

Shihabeddin et al utilized single-cell RNA-Seq analysis of adult P23H zebrafish animals to identify transcription factors (e2fs, Prdm1a, Sp1) expressed selectively in neural progenitors and immature ...

This manuscript demonstrates that Oct4 overexpression synergizes with Notch inhibition (Rbpj knockout) to promote the conversion of adult murine Müller glia (MG) into bipolar cells. These findings are ...
