New research reveals that certain brain tumors may originate silently within normal brain cells long before a tumor forms.

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells - one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult ...

New research has shown how brain cells acquire a cancerous mutation and spread across the cortex, opening a new path for ...

The process of brain cell fusion has been recently implicated in the progression of central nervous system (CNS) viral diseases. This novel biological understanding has opened up a new field of ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Neurons grown from stem cells in the lab form an interconnected network. In this study, researchers used CRISPR to switch off genes in stem cells and then followed how successfully the cells developed ...

Neurodegenerative diseases, traditionally viewed as driven by neuronal decline, are increasingly recognized to involve ...
