Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far ...

Scientists have successfully grown over 400 different types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab—a groundbreaking step toward replicating the complexity of the human brain.

Interestingly, these nerve cells are also present in the human brain. Using novel genetic and molecular biological tools, the researchers were able to analyze the neurons at the single cell level ...

Study reveals brain cells that trigger semaglutide’s fat loss without nausea, offering a path to safer obesity treatments. (CREDIT: Getty Images) ...

A specific group of nerve cells in the brain stem appears to control how semaglutide affects appetite and weight – without causing nausea. The discovery, made at the University of Gothenburg ...

Unlike the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerve cells, whose long extensions reach the skin and internal organs, are capable of regenerating after injury. This is why injuries to the central ...

This allows the brain stem cells to activate these genes in order to produce nerve cells themselves,” explained Lukas Kremer, a doctoral student at DFKZ and first author of the current publication.

The retina is often referred to as an "outpost of the brain"—after all, important steps in visual signal processing do not take place in the cerebrum, but in the nerve cells in the eye. When ...
