A new stem cell therapy helped stroke-damaged mice regain coordination while revealing unexpected signs of brain repair. The findings could reshape how scientists think about recovery after severe ...

Neurons and white blood cells differ greatly in shape, function, and location within the body. However, researchers at the University of Sao Paulo (USP) in Brazil discovered that certain genes are ...

The President of the General Assembly will convene the Second International Migration Review Forum from 5 to 8 May 2026 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, preceded by a multi-stakeholder ...

Directed cell migration is a fundamental biological process underlying development, tissue homeostasis, immune responses, and disease progression. While chemotaxis has long dominated conceptual ...

In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly. Georgia Tech physicists are now helping explain why this happens, having ...

This image shows a developing neural stem (center, blue) and developing neural crest (yellow). UC San Diego researchers and their collaborators have discovered that during development, ...

Summary: Scientists have long believed that embryonic cells “decide” what to become only after migrating to their final locations in the body. However, a new study has overturned this dogma. By using ...

As biologists know, nature can take its sweet time explaining itself. Andrew Gillis, associate scientist at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), has been investigating how the paired fins of fishes ...

No, this isn’t science fiction. Real-life researchers taught a dish of roughly 200,000 living human brain cells to play the classic 1990s computer game “Doom.” Experts at Cortical Labs, an Australian ...

The United States has achieved a historic turnaround on immigration, with net migration falling across every single metropolitan area in the country last year. It’s yet another major victory for ...

Cedars-Sinai investigators working to optimize a cell-based treatment for retinitis pigmentosa have uncovered how transplanted neural stem cells interact with host retinal cells to preserve vision.
