Numerous molecular mechanisms are being examined in an attempt to discover disease-
modifying drugs to slow down the underlying neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease …

Forebrain development in vertebrates is regulated by transcription factors encoded by
homeobox, bHLH and forkhead gene families throughout the progressive and overlapping …

Stem cell-based therapy raises hopes for a better approach to promoting tissue repair and
functional recovery. However, transplanted stem cells show a high death percentage …

Neurogenesis in the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the adult hippocampus can be stimulated by
a variety of means, including via exposure of experimental animals to an enriched …

Background: Hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) is the main cause of neurological
dysfunction in neonates. Olfactory cognitive function is important for feeding, the ability to …

The adult rodent subventricular zone (SVZ) generates neural stem cells (NSCs) throughout
life that migrate to the olfactory bulbs (OBs) and differentiate into olfactory interneurons. Few …

Stem cell treatments for spinal cord injury (SCI) are effective in pre-clinical animal model
research but not yet for humans. Two promising stem cell repair strategies involve (1) …

A longstanding objective of neuroscience is to improve repair and recovery of function for
patients following brain injury. These injuries may be due to injury or disease, vary from focal …

The central nervous system (CNS) consists of two distinct compartments, the gray and white
matters. Neuronal cell bodies lie only in the gray matter whereas myelinated processes of …
