A phase I clinical trial led by researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine has demonstrated the long-term safety and feasibility of neural stem cell transplantation for ...

Jan. 15, 2025 — While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows.

The study, which followed four patients with chronic spinal cord injuries for five years, found that two patients showed durable evidence of neurological improvement after treatment with neural ...

Since all cells in the body share the same complete genome, including the CREB gene, and this protein is also present in tissues with different functions, Kukushkin and his team decided to investigate ...

Summary: A study reveals how brain cell interactions influence aging, showing that rare cell types either accelerate or slow brain aging. Neural stem cells provide a rejuvenating effect on neighboring ...

Scientists are unraveling the mystery of what triggers Huntington’s disease, a devastating and fatal hereditary disorder that ...

2019). Some studies also demonstrate that, when cultured in neural stem cell (NSC) culture conditions, MSCs can also form clusters called neurospheres, or even full functional units called organoids ...

For over a decade, smaller clinical trials have explored the safety and feasibility of these particular stem cell approaches and found them beneficial for people with MS. Neural stem cells are ...

We generated 3-dimensional human neural organoids from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from individuals affected by primary progressive ... The organoids were cultured for a month using ...
