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

Some parts of the body can recover from injury fairly rapidly. The cornea, for example, can heal from minor scratches within a single day. The human brain, however, is not one of these fast-healing ...

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 ...

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.
