NASA has confirmed well over 5,000 of these planets. Among the most prevalent is a class of worlds dubbed "super-Earths." They are worlds ranging from some 30 to 70 percent bigger than Earth.

According to her findings, theropods had as many neurons in their brains as monkeys do today, with the T-Rex boasting "baboon-like" numbers of up to 3 billion neurons. That's a pretty scary level ...

Scientists prove it is possible to turn stem cells into neurons, a discovery that could allow damaged or lost brain cells to be replaced Brain cell transplants capable of restoring the failing ...

Northwestern University-led researchers have created the first highly mature neurons from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), a feat that opens new opportunities for medical research and ...

Brain health expert Marc Milstein has written about the diet of SuperAgers. Despite being in their 80s and beyond, some people have cognitive abilities comparable to those of persons who are ...

Northwestern University-led researchers have created the first highly mature neurons from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), a feat that opens new opportunities for medical research and ...

There is a group of people longevity researchers call "SuperAgers," who are in their 80s and beyond but have the cognitive function of those who are decades younger. SuperAgers are a great ...

Northwestern University-led researchers have created the first highly mature neurons from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Although previous researchers have differentiated stem cells ...

A team that has used two-photon imaging technology to show the creation and elimination of synapses between neurons in the brains of live mice. The research provides insight into what happens when ...

However, once lost, mammalian retinas cannot regenerate neurons despite tissue plasticity. Therefore, the success of these retinal neural cell replacement therapies relies on the potential of the ...

The US team at Northwestern University have turned stem cells into neurons, which they say could replace damaged or lost brain cells, potentially restoring cognition. Previous attempts to create ...
