Scientists have developed a technique that aligns stem cells into a single sheet, resulting in a marked increase in the secretion of signaling proteins which help repair tissue and regulate the immune ...

Researchers in Japan have successfully generated lung cells similar to alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells from mouse ...

A team of researchers from APL and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is developing next-generation brain organoid platforms to better understand the effects of mild blast-induced ...

Japanese researchers have generated lung cells directly from mouse tissue. These lung cells are called Alveolar Epithelial ...

Since astrocytes have many processes and can link up with many different synapses, they may dramatically increase the storage capacity of the brain while also keeping it very efficient. However, more ...

Astrocytes are star shaped cells that make up around 35% of human brain cells. They were once thought of as cells that simply supported neurons in the central nervous system (CNS). But in recent years ...

Tweaking non-neural brain cells can cause memories to fade Neurons and a second cell type called an astrocyte collaborate to hold memories.

How does the brain store—and access—our memories? While our understanding of the brain has (thankfully) developed greatly from the days of removing cerebral tissue to see what would happen, a ...

Explore the benefits of automation in plant tissue culture and learn about common technical challenges and solutions for optimizing your lab processes.

Researchers identified a unique methylation pattern in brain stem cells that could offer a way to reprogram astrocytes to treat nerve damage.
