Oxidative stress is a direct consequence of an excess in the body of so-called free radicals—reactive, unstable molecules ...

New advisory board brings together leaders in neuroscience, traumatic brain injury, and neurovascular biology to guide ...

Researchers have identified a new molecular pathway that stimulates injured brain cells to repair themselves after an ischemic stroke. The discovery may help limit or reverse the damage caused by the ...

Brain damage caused by blocked blood vessels may be treatable using injections of stem cells, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Zurich and the University of Southern ...

Every year, around 15 million babies worldwide are born before 37 weeks of gestation. Being born preterm can disrupt development, and earlier births increase the risk of life-changing health outcomes.

Researchers have uncovered the mechanisms behind three unique subtypes of mismatch repair deficient high-grade gliomas. The findings provide a clearer understanding of how these tumors develop, ...

Partial recovery after ischemic stroke is possible, but the mechanisms involved in this process remain unclear. Researchers identified a whole new pathway promoting brain repair. They discovered ...

Vision loss has long been treated as a one-way street, a devastating endpoint rather than a problem the brain might quietly work to solve. A wave of research is now overturning that assumption, ...

The race is on to regenerate damaged tissue as a result of brain injury from the likes of stroke. But one of the many barriers to the success of stem cell biotechnology has been keeping cells alive ...

The human brain is an energy guzzler: about 2% of our body weight, yet nearly 20% of its total energy use. Much of that comes from a small, crucial molecule called NAD+. As we age, NAD+ levels ...

Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons act as the brain’s rhythm keepers. By regulating local circuit activity and maintaining excitation–inhibition balance, they help stabilize cortical network function. When ...

This story on neuro-regeneration is part of an extended series on Regenerative Medicine. For other stories on this topic see williamhaseltine.com and search for Regenerative Medicine. My definition of ...
