In a first for USC Stem Cell scientists, the laboratory of Giorgia Quadrato, an assistant professor of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, has pioneered a novel human brain organoid model ...

Motor neurons innervate muscle cells to control various voluntary and involuntary movements. The progressive degeneration of motor neurons is the core of neuromuscular disorders, such as ALS. AxoCells ...

For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion. The finding, reported in the journal Nature, ...

The autonomic nervous system orchestrates the functions of internal organs such as the heart and gut, serving as a connection ...

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

Researchers have used a novel technique to 3D print brain tissue whose cells developed into functional neurons that communicated with each other in a matter of weeks. They say the approach could be ...

Scientists have developed a novel human brain organoid model that generates all the major cell types of the cerebellum, a hindbrain region predominantly made up of two cell types necessary for ...

Researchers demonstrate an artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells. “Mimicking the behaviour of biological neurons ...

Japanese scientists have created miniature human brain circuits by joining lab-grown thalamus and cortex models from stem ...
