Miller was found dead on March 21 in his hotel ... As a result, oxygen doesn’t reach the cells — and the cells that are most affected first are the brain neurons and heart cells.” ...

To test whether the neurons were functional, the researchers injected them into the brains of rats treated with a neurotoxin ...

For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international ...

In the first comprehensive, cell-by-cell analysis of brain tissue from individuals with Tourette syndrome, researchers have pinpointed exactly which cells are perturbed and how they malfunction, ...

Scientists have identified a previously unknown type of neural stem cell (pNSC) that exists outside the brain and spinal cord ...

Using in-vitro models of a specific type of brain cell, scientists have demonstrated that neurons can transform from one type to another. Neurons are specialized brain cells responsible for ...

These cells share important molecular and functional characteristics with neural stem cells of the brain. Peripheral neural stem cells have the same cell morphology, self-renewal and differentiation ...

Researchers can now generate brain cells from patients using stem cells, which gives them a clearer understanding of how schizophrenia develops Individuals with schizophrenia may have abnormally ...

Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 million connections. A neuron extends an axon to make contact with ...
