Anoxic brain injury, also called anoxic encephalopathy or hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, is a life threatening condition resulting from a complete lack of oxygen to the brain. Anoxic brain injury (ABI ...

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

If infants are deprived of oxygen during delivery, they can experience brain damage that may have serious, lasting consequences. But a new stem cell treatment could prevent those neurological problems ...

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 ...

Like the seeds of a forest, a few cells in embryos eventually sprout into an ecosystem of brain cells. Neurons get the most recognition for their computing power. But a host of other cells provides ...

Stem cells hold remarkable promise in the treatment of a wide range of diseases due to their unique ability to differentiate into various cell types and their regenerative properties. From ...
