Now, neuroscientists at Stanford University have taken a huge step towards solving that problem. They grew human cortical ...

Neuroscientists have made a major advance in modeling the human brain in mice, offering a new way to study conditions like ...

In a study published in Molecular Therapy Advances a team of researchers led by Professor Haruhisa Inoue (Center for iPS Cell Research and Application, Kyoto University) and Professor Yuishin Izumi ...

Human brain tissue has been transplanted into a mouse for the first time, creating a completely new hybrid animal.

Researchers in Japan have successfully generated lung cells similar to alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells from mouse embryonic fibroblasts without using stem cell technology. The AT2-like cells ...

One alternative has been to implant human neural stem cells into the brains of another species, where they’ll generally ...

Findings A UCLA research team has engineered a new type of immune cell that attacks atherosclerotic plaques — the fatty ...

A natural compound reduced fat buildup in mouse muscle cells by protecting a key metabolic protein.

Researchers from Japan and France have successfully reconstituted the development of mouse egg cells, known as oocytes, from embryonic stem cells entirely in vitro, without the need for ovarian ...

What does it feel like to be a rat? We will never know, but some very unusual mice may now have an inkling. In a series of new experiments, bits of rat brain grew inside the brains of mice. Donor stem ...
