As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

Japanese scientists have created miniature human brain circuits by joining lab-grown thalamus and cortex models from stem ...

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can responsibly use these bits of gray matter.

When someone has a stroke—a leading worldwide cause of death and disability—time is of the essence. Almost nine out of 10 cases are ischemic strokes, caused by restricted blood flow in the brain, and ...

Like the seeds of a forest, a few cells in embryos eventually sprout into an ecosystem of brain cells. Neurons get the most recognition for their computing power. But a host of other cells provides ...

It’s not every day that high school students get the chance to look at a brain organoid under a microscope or use a laser table or hear about stem cell research in microgravity. But because stem cell ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- University of California, Berkeley, biologists have found a signal that keeps stem cells alive in the adult brain, providing a focus for scientists looking for ways to re-grow or ...
