The study reveals a potential link between concussions and the activation of dormant viruses, which may lead to ...

Individuals who suffer head trauma from sports, accidents, or other causes often go on to develop neurodegenerative diseases ...

Researchers have identified a unique stem cell in the young brain capable of maturing into multiple cell types, potentially explaining the origins of autism and glioblastoma.

Chanda's team used human neurons derived from stem cells to develop a model of the brain that could rigorously test these relationships. Using a gene-editing tool called CRISPR-Cas9, they were ...

A study using lab-made models of the brain suggests that a herpes virus may be a key link between concussions and dementia ...

UCSF scientists have discovered a stem cell in the young brain that’s capable of forming the cells found in tumors. The breakthrough could explain how adult brain cells take advantage of developmental ...

to accurately model a patient's response to CAR T cell therapy in real time. The organoid's response to therapy mirrored the response of the actual tumor in the patient's brain. That is ...
