• Scientists recreate brain cells from skin cells to study schizophrenia safely
  

  A team of scientists at Penn State University, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and other institutions have developed a method for recreating a schizophrenic patient's own brain cells, which then can be studied safely and effectively in a Petri dish. The method brings researchers a step cl more

• Researchers identify a molecular switch that controls neuronal migration in the developing brain

  St. Jude Children's Research Hospital investigators have identified key components of a signaling pathway that controls the departure of neurons from the brain niche where they form and allows these cells to start migrating to their final destination. Defects in this system affect the architecture o more

• Neural probe senses and stimulates individual brain cells

  Imec, together with its partners within the European FP6 Program NeuroProbes, has created a new neural probe enabling electrical and chemical recording and stimulation of single neurons in the brain. Applications of the new technology are vast, ranging from tools for fundamental research on the func more

• How stem cells speak with host immune cells in inflammatory brain diseases

  Advances in stem cell biology have raised great expectations that diseases and injuries of the central nervous system (CNS) may be ameliorated by the development of non‐hematopoietic stem cell medicines. Yet, the application of adult stem cells as CNS therapeutics is challenging and the interpreta more

• Classical and unconventional pathways of vesicular release in microglia

  Emerging evidence indicates that activation of microglia, the immune cells of the brain, is strictly associated to both secretion of soluble molecules and release of extracellular membrane vesicles (EMVs) into the pericellular space. Through these processes, microglia heavily influence brain cell more
