A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence ...

A microscopic flaw in the brain’s cellular scaffolding can shape brain size for life.

A group of Chinese researchers has created a robot with a brain made of human stem cells. The technology is technically a "brain-on-a-chip," and the researchers have been working to train the robot to ...

Scientists are building experimental computers from living human brain cells and testing how they learn and adapt.

By analyzing over 213,000 developing human brain cells, researchers show that many autism risk genes act through the ECM.

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) today announced the 10 most downloaded papers of 2025 from Stem Cell ...

The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from trauma, stroke, or disease—they rarely grow back. Scientists have been ...

Stem cells in the brain, called neural stem cells (NSCs), have the ability to proliferate, differentiate, and undergo a process of cell death. Most of the NSCs in our brains exist in a dormant state, ...

We have long believed that brain growth stops once we pass the age of 20, after which the brain only ages and degenerates.
