The process of generating new neurons of different phenotype and function from
undifferentiated stem and progenitor cells starts at very early stages of development and …

Ischemic stroke (IS) is a severe neurological disease that is difficult to recovery. Previous
studies have shown that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a promising …

Despite several decades of research on the nature and functional properties of neural stem
cells, which brought great advances in regenerative medicine, there is still a plethora of …

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) can drive tumor growth, and their maintenance may rely on post-
transcriptional regulation of gene expression, including that mediated by microRNAs …

Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple risk loci that show
strong associations with schizophrenia. However, pinpointing the potential causal genes at …

Neural stem cells (NSCs) show therapeutic potential for ischemia in young-adult animals.
However, the effect of aging on NSC therapy is largely unknown. In this work, NSCs were …

Background The beneficial effects of curcumin which includes its antioxidant, anti-
inflammatory and cancer chemo-preventive properties have been identified. Little …

Objective. Demyelination that results from disease or traumatic injury, such as spinal cord
injury (SCI), can have a devastating effect on neural function and recovery. Many …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) initiates an expansive biochemical insult that is largely
responsible for the long-term dysfunction associated with TBI; however, current clinical …

The chemokine SDF-1α plays a critical role in mediating stem cell response to injury and
disease and has specifically been shown to mobilize neural progenitor/stem cells (NPSCs) …
