A University of Ottawa neuroscientist has led a Canadian research team to reveal important new insights into the activation ...

Scientists have discovered that neural stem cells (NSCs) receive constant feedback from their daughter cells, influencing whether they remain dormant or activate to form new neurons and glia.

The work could lead to improvements to stem cell therapy and contribute to the development of other treatments with similar impacts on the brain. An ischemic stroke occurs when blood flow to part ...
