UCI’s $12M CIRM award for hNSC-01 marks a pivotal shift to clinical-stage development. See how this state-funded "bridge" is ...

The study shows that fat tissue, when processed and cultured in a specific way, can self-organize into structures resembling ...

As we get older, everything in our bodies age, even our cells. But brain cells are different. Most neurons last a lifetime, and the adult brain even contains several areas that can make new neurons ...

Research by a Stanford University team of scientists has shed new light on how and why neural stem cells (NSCs), the cells behind the generation of new neurons in the adult brain, become less active ...

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

A team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of ...

Multipotent dental stem cells can give rise to various cell types and show potential for treating injuries, diabetes, and heart disease in early clinical trials.

For much of the 20th century it was thought that the adult brain was incapable of regeneration. This view has since shifted dramatically and neurogenesis – the birth of new neurons – is now a widely ...
