A University of Ottawa neuroscientist has led a Canadian research team to reveal important new insights into the activation dynamics of neural stem cells (NSCs). These are the stem cells that build ...

This study identifies 47,350 enhancers active in human neurons during differentiation and links some to genes involved in ...

Ever since the cell was recognized ... that guide the growth of neuronal projections (axons). These local constraints might not greatly affect gene expression. Cellular atlases are unlocking ...

Feb. 4, 2025 — Research has shown that a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumor cells in preclinical models tested in mice.

Researchers have discovered a new type of neuron that plays a fundamental role in recognition memory -- how the brain registers the difference between new and familiar objects and forms long-term ...

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

A guardian molecule ensures that liver cells do not lose their identity. This has been discovered by researchers from the ...

LATS1/2-inactivation and consequent nuclear YAP/TAZ hyperactivation in the mammary epithelium drives the development of a pro ...

“The impact of mitochondria in T2D pathogenesis has been further bolstered by findings that β-cell mitochondrial gene expression and oxidative phosphorylation defects precede the development of ...

Stem cell therapies are a type of cell therapy in which the cells used are either stem cells (as in the case of bone marrow transplantation) or are derived from stem cells, as is this case with ...

survival and/or neuronal maturation of intrinsic neural stem cells and their progeny, so as to use this intrinsic neural cell source for therapeutic purposes. This work was partly supported by a ...
