Researchers have synthesized enhanced vitamin K analogues that outperform natural vitamin K in promoting neuron growth. The ...

The brain’s mechanisms for repairing injuries caused by trauma or degenerative diseases are not yet known in detail. Now, a ...

CHICAGO, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Scientists have found a way to get damaged nerve cells in the brains of mice to repair themselves, a finding that may lead to new treatments for spinal cord and brain ...

Stem cell therapy reversed stroke damage in mice, regenerating neurons and restoring movement. The findings bring scientists closer to human treatments that could one day transform recovery after ...

While you may feel like the same person day after day, science tells a fascinatingly different story. Your body is in a constant state of renewal, shedding old cells and generating new ones across ...

“As people age, their brains show a decline in neuronal energy levels, which limits the ability to remove unwanted proteins and damaged components,” said Gregory Brewer, lead author of the study. “We ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. Billions of nerve cells send signals coursing through our bodies, serving as conduits ...

Neural stem cells have the potential to regenerate brain tissue, as a team led by Tackenberg and postdoctoral researcher Rebecca Weber has now compellingly shown in two studies that were conducted in ...

Scientists have developed supercharged vitamin K compounds. These compounds combine vitamin K with retinoic acid. They show ...
