Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

The use of iPSC-derived neurons to model human diseases like Alzheimer’s has enabled new advances. Nonetheless, a limitation of these cells is that their reprogramming resets epigenetic marks, erasing ...

The spread of tau protein aggregates in the brain—a process that drives cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia—has been studied with a model that incorporates human ...

Scientists have developed a new human-based endometrial model to study embryonic implantation in the early stages of ...

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cells in the human brain, according to the latest ...
