Japan has approved two stem cell-based therapies for treating Parkinson's disease and heart failure in a world first, through ...

The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, on Thursday unveiled the Functional Repair of Neocortical Tissue (FRONT) ...

The human brain, as the seat of mental life—from the most complicated intellectual processes down to routine and unconscious bodily control—is necessarily enormously complex. The largest part of the ...

A team of scientists—including Agnieszka Ciesielska (left), Barbara Klein (center), and Jeanne Paz (right)—showed that modified stem cells can improve brain activity, even when administered more than ...

In cell culture experiments, stem cells from human baby teeth promoted neural cell proliferation. In rat models, the stem cell therapy improved motor skills and learning, suggesting potential ...

Stem cells from lost baby teeth (SHED) can treat cerebral palsy, improving motor and brain function even after symptoms appear. A potential new therapy!
