A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain ...

New research shows gut bacteria can directly influence how the brain develops and functions. When scientists transferred ...

Stem cells in the brain, called neural stem cells (NSCs), have the ability to proliferate, differentiate, and undergo a process of cell death. Most of the NSCs in our brains exist in a dormant state, ...

Researchers developed a way to directly reprogram human glial cells into PV interneurons without passing through a stem‑cell stage.

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are ...

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) today announced the 10 most downloaded papers of 2025 from Stem Cell ...

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the process differed from the evolution of chimpanzees. For the study, published ...

A team of scientists—including Agnieszka Ciesielska (left), Barbara Klein (center), and Jeanne Paz (right)—showed that modified stem cells can improve brain activity, even when administered more than ...
