Research identifies MDGA2- BDNF/TrkB-dependent mechanism that may point to therapeutic approaches for autism spectrum disorder.

In mice, autism symptoms arise when a certain pair of competing nerve proteins falls out of equilibrium, according to a study ...

A team led by Professor Kazuhiro Maeshima of the National Institute of Genetics (ROIS) and SOKENDAI in Japan has developed a ...

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have developed an innovative method that can help to understand better how cells behave ...

The same genes could hold the key to regenerating cells in the ear and eye, according to a new mouse study from the USC Stem Cell laboratory of Ksenia Gnedeva, PhD, published in the Proceedings of the ...

Using in-vitro models of a specific type of brain cell, scientists show that neurons are capable of changing from one type to ...

A USC research team discovered that a single genetic signal may be preventing both hearing and vision cells from repairing themselves. By turning off this signal in mice, they triggered cell growth in ...

A recent study led by the UAB demonstrates the potential of gene therapy to restore motor capacity in an ultra-rare disease, ...
