The brain stem is a portion of the brain made of four distinct sections: the diencephalon, mesencephalon, pons, and medulla oblongata. Each of these sections has associated functions which are vital ...

Researchers who induced strokes in mice and then transplanted human neural stem cells into their brains found that neurons ...

Scientists in Zurich have shown that stem cell transplants can reverse stroke damage by regenerating neurons, restoring motor ...

Stem cell transplantation can reverse stroke damage, researchers at the University of Zurich report. Its beneficial effects ...

Using mice with stroke-induced brain damage, the researchers found that injections of human stem cells could successfully ...

Lab-grown brain cells improved stroke recovery in mice by repairing circuits and reducing damage. Human trials could follow within 5–7 years.

When someone has a stroke—a leading worldwide cause of death and disability—time is of the essence. Almost nine out of 10 ...

Previous studies have found similarities in gene expression between resting brain stem cells and normal astrocytes even though they have very different functions. New research into epigenetic changes ...

The brain runs on energy. Every thought, memory, or emotion sparks countless signals between nerve cells. That communication demands a steady, powerful fuel supply. Without it, the system breaks down.
