Researchers improve brain disorder survival rates in mice by injecting glial progenitor cells.
A team of researchers from University of Rochester Medical Center in New York examined mice with myelin-deficiency disorder and suggested that these mice can benefit from human neural stem cells – glial progenitor cells (GPCs). The cells were taken from human fetuses and [...]

Researchers at the University of Iowa and the Veterans Affairs Iowa City Health Care System have uncovered a brain pathway that shuts down seizures.
The multidisciplinary team of scientists pieced together information from clinical observations made in the first half of the 20th century with knowledge from modern genetics and molecular biology to show that an [...]

For 48-year-old William Taylor of Cordova, Ill., the long drive from the Quad Cities area to Rush University Medical Center in Chicago was worth the trip if it meant the possibility of keeping the brain aneurysms he has been suffering from for the past nine years from ballooning and growing any further.

Two years ago researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine discovered that misfolded proteins called TDP-43 accumulated in the motor areas of the brains of patients with amyotropic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig’s disease. Now, the same group has shown that TDP-43 accumulates throughout the brain, suggesting ALS has broader neurological effects [...]
