Scientists have identified a previously unknown type of neural stem cell (pNSC) that exists outside the brain and spinal cord, overturning decades of neuroscience dogma.

There was, however, a tissue that seemed to belie cell theory — nervous tissue. Because of its softness and fragility, it was difficult to handle and susceptible to deterioration. But it was ...

By improving our understanding of these cells and structures, from nervous tissue to epithelial tissue, fields such as immunology, regenerative medicine, drug discovery and drug development can all ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo.

During the development of an embryo, this rod-like tissue acts as a kind of crucial scaffold, and helps dictate where cells should build out the spine and nervous system. This is the first stem ...

SHENZHEN -- Chinese scientists have, for the first time, confirmed the existence of microglia in the peripheral nervous ...

Most tissues, also in adults, can renew with the help of the tissue stem cells that reside in them. The activity of tissue stem cells and the pace of tissue renewal varies a lot depending on the ...
