Scientists have discovered that neural stem cells (NSCs) receive constant feedback from their daughter cells, influencing whether they remain dormant or activate to form new neurons and glia.

A University of Ottawa neuroscientist has led a Canadian research team to reveal important new insights into the activation ...

Cut off any part of this worm's body and it will regrow. This is the spectacular yet mysterious regenerative ability of ...

A fungal infection has been shown to trigger a fruit fly's own immune system to destroy brain cells, leading to signs of ...

Discover how neural stem cells activate in the adult human brain, unlocking potential for regeneration, repair, and new ...

Most neuroscience research carried out up to date has primarily focused on neurons, the most renowned type of cell in the ...

Here, we highlight the complex molecular signaling that takes place in neurons, glial cells and the blood-brain barrier following ischemic insult. We also describe the evidence of TRPM2 ...

This dissertation focuses on the glial protein GFAP and Alexander disease, a severe neurological disorder primarily affecting young children. Mutations in the GFAP gene disrupt astrocyte function, ...
