Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

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

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene linked to a severe neurodevelopmental disorder not previously described.

Funding supports safety studies, manufacturing and clinical planning needed before applying to test the treatment in patients ...

Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) have identified an innovation in stem cell therapy to regenerate neural cells in the brain after cardiac arrest in an animal model.

A genome-wide CRISPR study maps 331 genes essential for early brain development, identifying PEDS1 as a new ...

By editing thousands of genes in mouse stem cells, the scientists identified a list of over 300 that are crucial for neural differentiation.

Neurons grown from stem cells in the lab form an interconnected network. In this study, researchers used CRISPR to switch off genes in stem cells and then followed how successfully the cells developed ...
