Hydrocephalus poses a significant threat to the pediatric population, with a prevalence of approximately 6 per 10,000 and a neonatal mortality rate of 13% pre-hospital discharge (Wright et al., 2016).

In their study published in Developmental Cell today (Monday 22 August), the researchers identified a group of latent stem cells in the central nervous system of mice. These are part of the ependymal ...

The findings, also published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, show how the molecule p11 plays an important role in the onset of depression by affecting cells sitting on the surface of the brain ...

Glial cells are an integral part of the human nervous system. They help support and nourish nerve cells, or neurons. Several types of glial cells exist. Glial cells are the “glue” of the nervous ...

Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute have identified a group of latent stem cells that respond to injury in the central nervous system of mice. If a similar type of cell exists in humans, they ...
