Spinal cord injury can lead to severe motor, sensory and autonomic dysfunction. Currently,
there is no effective treatment for the injured spinal cord. The transplantation of Schwann …

The recent years saw the advent of promising preclinical strategies that combat the
devastating effects of a spinal cord injury (SCI) that are progressing towards clinical trials …

In the adult brain, new neurons are continuously generated in the subventricular zone and
dentate gyrus, but it is unknown whether these neurons can replace those lost following …

Once their safety is confirmed, human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), which do not
entail ethical concerns, may become a preferred cell source for regenerative medicine …

We describe here the isolation of stem cells from juvenile and adult rodent skin. These cells
derive from the dermis, and clones of individual cells can proliferate and differentiate in …

Parkinson's disease is a widespread condition caused by the loss of midbrain neurons that
synthesize the neurotransmitter dopamine. Cells derived from the fetal midbrain can modify …

The adult brain is extremely vulnerable to various insults. The recent discovery of neural
progenitors in adult mammals, however, raises the possibility of repairing damaged tissue …

The field of tissue engineering has advanced over the past decade, but the largest impact on
human health should be achieved with the transition of engineered solid organs to the clinic …

Various types of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have been established by different
methods, and each type exhibits different biological properties. Before iPS cell-based …

A recent assertion that new neurons are continually added to the neocortex of adult
macaque monkeys has profound implications for understanding the cellular mechanisms of …
