Neuroscientists identify age-defying RNAs in the brain

Certain RNA molecules in the nerve cells in the brain last a life time without being renewed. Neuroscientists from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have now demonstrated that this is the case together with researchers from Germany, Austria and the USA.

Study reveals the inner workings of gene mutations linked to ultra-rare syndrome

A team from the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Medicine has completed an exciting new study that reveals the inner workings of gene mutations that result in an ultra-rare syndrome with fewer than 100 reported cases since its first description in the early 1960s.

Researchers develop artificial cell environment to promote nerve regeneration

Injuries in the central nervous system heal poorly because cavities scar. Researchers hope to remedy this problem by filling the cavities in such a way that stem cells feel comfortable in them.

Scientists uncover a way to "hack" neurons' internal clocks to speed up brain cell development

The neurons that make up our brains and nervous systems mature slowly over many months.

Researchers take step toward developing cell therapy treatment for MS

An international team has shown that the injection of a type of stem cell into the brains of patients living with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) is safe, well tolerated and has a long-lasting effect that appears to protect the brain from further damage.

Lactate plays a critical role in helping neural stem cells develop into specialized neurons

Scientists at Tohoku University have discovered the critical role that lactate plays in helping neural stem cells develop into specialized neurons, a process dubbed neuronal differentiation.

Neurodevelopmental disruptions could pave the way for Alzheimer's disease

In the cerebral cortex, neurogenesis – the formation of neural cells from stem cells – begins in the fetus from 5 weeks gestation and is almost complete by 28 weeks.
