Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the cornea—can heal from minor scratches within a single day. The brain is not one ...

Healing from any injury involves a delicate balance between scarring and inflammation — two processes that can wreak havoc as well as make repairs. When the injury is to the brain, the balance is that ...

Silent cells deep in your spinal cord may hold a surprising key to healing after devastating injuries and brain disease. A ...

Every year, more than 795,000 Americans experience a stroke, according to the CDC-and for every one of those people, their ...

Metallic nanoflowers may be the next frontier in brain health, reducing oxidative stress, protecting mitochondria, and even extending lifespan in lab models. A new study shows they hold “incredible ...

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

A team at Texas A&M AgriLife Research has developed a new way to protect and potentially heal brain cells, using microscopic particles shaped like flowers. The so-called “nanoflowers,” metallic ...

The human brain can do many amazing things, but self-repair is not one of its repertoire of abilities. Once neurons die—from trauma, stroke, or disease—they rarely grow back. Scientists have been ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...
