Scientists at Keck Medicine of USC are testing an experimental stem cell therapy that aims to restore the brain’s ability to ...

Brain damage caused by blocked blood vessels may be treatable using injections of stem cells, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Zurich and the University of Southern ...

Stem cell transplantation can reverse stroke damage, researchers at the University of Zurich report. Its beneficial effects include regeneration of neurons and restoration of motor functions, marking ...

"We proved for the first time that we can affect outcomes in moderately to severely disabled patients with TBI using stem cells," study investigator Peter McAllister, MD, co-founder and medical ...

A receptor that was first identified as necessary for insulin action, that also is located on the neural stem cells found deep in the brains of mice, is pivotal for brain stem cell longevity, ...

In vivo studies headed by researchers at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), Toronto, have demonstrated that destroying senescent cells in the aging stem cell niche enhances hippocampal ...

Aging affects all of us and leads to cell and tissue loss of function, multiple diseases, and eventually death. And, even after decades of robust research and billions of dollars spent, there are only ...

Scientists at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, (NUS Medicine), have identified a molecular switch that helps aging brains ...

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 ...

When someone has a stroke—a leading worldwide cause of death and disability—time is of the essence. Almost nine out of 10 cases are ischemic strokes, caused by restricted blood flow in the brain, and ...

Keck Medicine of USC is conducting an early phase clinical trial investigating the safety and effectiveness ...
