The way these cells interact, and which cells are in control of the network, has therefore been the subject of an ongoing debate for a long time. Until recently, chronobiologists assumed that certain ...

Neurons from grafted stem cells contain intrinsic codes for navigating and forming connections, which may improve cell therapy for a brain short-circuited by stroke. Some parts of our bodies bounce ...

A new bioengineered neuronal circuit board "BioConNet" allows scientists to artificially engineer human brain-like wiring at scale and can be used to engineer any possible circuit. The fully ...

Some parts of the body can recover from injury fairly rapidly. The cornea, for example, can heal from minor scratches within a single day. The human brain, however, is not one of these fast-healing ...

Engineers at Northwestern University have taken a striking leap toward merging machines with the human brain by printing artificial neurons that can actually communicate with real ones. These flexible ...

They found Cas9 persists much longer in neurons; while Cas9 editing continued for only a few days in dividing iPS cells, it continued for as long as a month in neurons. "This could be an important ...
