Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Neurons grown from stem cells in the lab form an interconnected network. In this study, researchers used CRISPR to switch off genes in stem cells and then followed how successfully the cells developed ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In a new study published today in Nature Neuroscience, researchers led by ...
