A stem-cell-based "organ-on-a-chip" model of ALS mimics early biological changes seen in the degenerative disease.

The “missing link” helps adults grow new neurons—something long thought to end after childhood—and that discovery could lead ...

Transplanting healthy human glial cells into HD mouse brains improved movement, memory, and survival. Even more strikingly, the glia coaxed diseased neurons to behave more like healthy ones, offering ...

The authors proposed two hypotheses: first, that methamphetamine induces neuroinflammation, and second, that it alters neuronal stem cell differentiation. These are valuable hypotheses, and the ...

Stem cell tech simulates ALS, quantum tools decode quasicrystals, and cancer exploits a human mutation—three breakthroughs ...

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) reports its latest AI model aimed at helping researchers better understand how cells ...

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — July 10, 2025 — Today, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) announced its latest AI model aimed at helping researchers better understand how cells behave by focusing on the key ...

The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for ...

He points out that glial cells, supporting cells in the brain, do divide in adulthood, and could be mistaken for neuron-producing cells. Others, like Mercedes Paredes at UCSF, call the research a ...

Inhibition of LKKR2 may rescue neurons that are dying due to a type of Parkinson’s disease that is caused by a single genetic mutation.

Improving neuron survival To assess the therapeutic potential of the new approach, the scientists conducted laboratory tests using human neurons derived from stem cells. The results showed the ...
