When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the ...

The neural crest is an extraordinary population of multipotent stem cells, unique to vertebrates, that plays a pivotal role in embryogenesis. Arising at the borders of the neural plate, these cells ...

The study shows that fat tissue, when processed and cultured in a specific way, can self-organize into structures resembling bone marrow, pancreatic islets, and even neural tissue. These organoids ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Using single-cell RNA sequencing, first author Nadja Milivojev from the Department of Neurosciences and Developmental Biology, University of Vienna, identified molecular markers characteristic of stem ...

Dr. Maria Margarita Behrens traces her journey from South America to the Salk Institute in a Genomic Press Interview ...

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Aside from reprogramming and transdifferentiation, the longer-existing approach to generating neurons and NSCs has been differentiating them from pluripotent cells, initially from embryonic stem cells ...
