Using neural stem cells could help treat spinal injuries once thought to be untreatable -- a new phase 1 trial has determined this approach is safe. A Phase I clinical trial led by researchers at ...

Summary: A Phase I clinical trial has demonstrated the long-term safety of neural stem cell transplantation for chronic spinal cord injuries. Researchers followed four patients for five years, with ...

The epithelial–mesenchymal transition ... properties characteristic of a mesenchymal cell. This occurs during developmental processes such as neural tube formation, and when metastasis is ...

A Phase I clinical trial led by researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine has demonstrated the long-term safety and feasibility of neural stem cell transplantation for ...

Summary: Researchers have uncovered the crucial role of a protein subunit, INST10, in guiding pluripotent stem cells toward becoming neural cells during early development. The study found that ...

Scientists examine the effectiveness of an antibody targeting cell adhesion molecule 1 in alleviating pain-induced neuronal ...

In addition to the finding that GnRH can target S100A4 to inhibit endometrial epithelial cells proliferation, it was also found that endometrial cells were in poor condition and experienced cell death ...

But it turned out this wasn’t the whole picture. Williamson’s research investigated the role astrocytes, non-neuron brain cells, play in the read-and-write operations that go on in our heads.

Thus, the hair cells play a major role in the conversion of mechanical (acoustic) energy into electrical (neural) energy. Hair-cell loss and regeneration is currently an area of active investigation.
