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 ...

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

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

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

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

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Multidisciplinary Sciences have now shown that, in addition to neurons, special glial cells in the brain also produce amyloid beta. This finding ...

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 ...

Furthermore, many peripheral neural stem cells that migrate out of the neural tube can differentiate into mature neurons and, ...

The goal is to have these cells then develop into neurons and glial cells, which support and protect neurons. In an announcement last week, the research team led by Keio University stem cell scientist ...

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 ...
