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).

Spinal cord injury (SCI) remains one of the most devastating medical conditions, severely impacting quality of life and often leading to permanent disability. The central nervous system (CNS) has a ...

The cells were identified by chance when the team used a fluorescence tool to look for immune cells called dendritic cells in the brain. The ependymal cells that the tool identified were found to ...

Cryo-EM has solved yet another molecular riddle. In the September 6 Acta Neuropathologica, scientists led by Bernardino Ghetti, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, reported that ...

Researchers at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences explored the regenerative mechanisms behind spinal cord injury (SCI) repair. By constructing ...

Detailed mapping of 1.2 million brain cells has revealed that not all cell types age in the same way and that some – found in a specific ‘hot spot’ – are more sensitive to the aging process. It opens ...
