Duke University Medical Center-led research has identified a human-specific DNA enhancer that regulates neural progenitor ...

The latter two are collectively known as glial cells. Every neuron, oligodendrocyte and astrocyte in the CNS evolves from the differentiation of neural progenitor cells (NPCs). NPCs themselves are ...

The fundamental processes that govern neural development are complex and, as findings by scientists at St. Jude Children's ...

The basic mechanisms that control neural development are intricate, and as research from St. Jude Children's Research ...

A small segment of human DNA boosts brain size and complexity, revealing both the origins of intelligence and its ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital found that, in neural development, the same set of proteins involved in cellular self-renewal can also facilitate differentiation with the right ...

the researchers injected magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles into neural progenitor cells, thus turning the cells into independent magnetic units. Next, they exposed the progenitor cells ...

To coax the brain into healing itself, researchers have searched high and low for methods that expand the brain’s progenitor cell population. In one approach, scientists isolate cells from different ...

Neural stem and progenitor cells (NPSCs) give rise to the cells of the brain and nervous system. NSPCs are known to reside in a hypoxic niche, meaning that oxygen levels in the niche are lower ...

The neural progenitor cell group reside within the Academic Unit of Ophthalmology as part of an increasing sized and multi-collaborative research group which is working on progenitor cells within the ...
