As we age, neuron production declines in the human brain, but scientists just identified the protein key to regenerating neural stem cells.

A decline in the expression of the epigenetic regulator Setd8 in neural stem cells (NSCs) during early adulthood leads to chromatin condensation and reduced gene expression, suppressing NSC ...

Scientists revealed how the protein can be used to rejuvenates neural stem cells.

Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows ...

Study Finds Human Protein Linked to Reversing Brain Aging Aging often brings a gradual decline in memory and learning ability ...

Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...

Cyclin D-binding myb-like transcription factor 1 or DMTF1a key protein in the brain can help to regenerate neural stem cells and improve aging-associated memory decline. NUS scientists found that this ...

For much of the 20th century it was thought that the adult brain was incapable of regeneration. This view has since shifted dramatically and neurogenesis – the birth of new neurons – is now a widely ...

Researchers use single-cell analysis to show how transplanted neural stem cells interact with the retina to preserve vision in retinitis pigmentosa.

Scientists are no longer just cataloging the damage that comes with age, they are starting to rewire the machinery inside cells that makes that damage accumulate in the first place. A new wave of work ...
