The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from trauma, stroke, or disease—they rarely grow back. Scientists have been ...

Stem cell transplantation can reverse stroke damage, researchers at the University of Zurich report. Its beneficial effects include regeneration of neurons and restoration of motor functions, marking ...

When someone has a stroke—a leading worldwide cause of death and disability—time is of the essence. Almost nine out of 10 cases are ischemic strokes, caused by restricted blood flow in the brain, and ...

Brain stem gliomas very rare growths that begin in the glial cells of the brain stem. Doctors can diagnose brain stem glioma using neurological exams and scans. Treatment may involve chemotherapy, ...

A New Jersey woman has been given a second chance at life, thanks to a new cancer therapy. Pamela Goldberger, 65, found out in 2023 that she had glioblastoma — a devastating diagnosis with an average ...

The federal government is looking for researchers who can, in 5 years, develop stem cell treatments to repair brain damage caused by stroke, neurodegeneration, and trauma. The Functional Repair of ...

A specific group of nerve cells in the brain stem appears to control how semaglutide affects appetite and weight - without causing nausea. The discovery, made at the University of Gothenburg, could ...

Scientists are examining the effect on brain health of microplastics and one of the largest sources of microplastics: ultra-processed foods. Earlier this year, scientists discovered that there is ...

A cell culture plate with pluripotent stem cells, which can differentiate into any kind of cell in the body. National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences A treatment that could replenish cells ...

A team of scientists—including Agnieszka Ciesielska (left), Barbara Klein (center), and Jeanne Paz (right)—showed that modified stem cells can improve brain activity, even when administered more than ...
