New, unpublished results show some of the cells produce new neurons for up to 90 days, much longer than a previously identified set of neural stem cells that only generate neurons for a month or two.

Changes in gene expression also hint at how the brains of people with ASD develop differently from those of other people.

Scientists identified a gene involved in the age-related deterioration of mouse neural stem cells.

Current can guide implanted cells away from rats’ noses toward a region deep in their brains.

Two studies demonstrate the first direct, chemical reprogramming of mouse and human skin cells into heart muscle and neural cells.

Researchers create cerebral organoids in 3-D–printed bioreactors that can be used to model Zika infection.

The virus infects and kills human neural stem cells and impedes brain tissue development, according to a study.

Zika virus may commandeer a receptor on the surface of neural progenitor cells, scientists show.

Neuron nurseries in the adult brains of rodents and humans appear to influence cognitive function.
