In healthy rodent brains, newborn neurons are constantly generated in the stem cell niche, known as the subventricular zone (SVZ). These cells might help to repair a brain that has been damaged by ...

Researchers at the University of Freiburg have studied what happens immediately after a stroke in the stem cell niche known as the subventricular zone, using a mouse model. This revealed a mechanism ...

"Impaired neural stem cell regeneration has long been associated with neurological aging. Inadequate neural stem cell regeneration inhibits the formation of new cells needed to support learning and ...

This image shows a postnatal neural stem cell (NSC) in the ventricular-subventricular zone. The majority of postnatal NSCs are maintained in a quiescent state, allowing for long-term maintenance.

Two new lines of brain research are testing whether aging cells can be nudged into working more like young ones. In one study, scientists boosted a protein called cyclin D-binding myb-like ...

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can restore the ability of neural stem cells to regenerate, even when age-related ...

Biological cells process data and perform computations all the time. They take inputs in the form of external stimuli and produce specific responses. Recently, scientists have been looking at ways to ...

Researchers studied what happens immediately after a stroke in the stem cell niche known as the subventricular zone, using a mouse model. This revealed a mechanism that results in fewer newborn ...
