Scientists say they have very strong evidence that the adult human brain is capable of making new neurons, a point of ongoing ...

Scientists in Sweden led the study, published Thursday in Science. They found abundant signs of neural stem cells growing in ...

Scientists have found evidence of new brain cells sprouting in adults - a process that many thought only occurred in children ...

A decade after her fatal prognosis, Grace Wethor is “miraculously” living with brain cancer —and has become an author, ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

Nicola went to see a doctor and was told she needed an MRI, which she thought was an “overreaction” but it revealed meningioma — a tumor in a rare and dangerous location near her brain stem ...

To investigate this, the researchers interrupted the blood supply to the brain of mice for a short time. As a result, astrocytes with the typical stem cell methylation profile could be detected ...

The brain stem connects to your spinal cord and sits just underneath the cerebrum. The largest part of the brain is the cerebrum, which consists of four lobes, each with a distinct function.

They isolated ordinary astrocytes and brain stem cells from the ventricular-subventricular zone (vSVZ), a region of adult mice brains with young neurons.
