New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...

A team at Johns Hopkins Medicine has focused their work on myelin development using oligodendrocytes to help study conditions like MS.

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Researchers from Johns Hopkins Medicine, utilizing mouse models, reveal that oligodendrocyte precursor cells differentiate at a consistent, extensive rate throughout adulthood.

Every second, an adult generates around five million new blood cells to replace aging or dying ones, making the blood system a highly regenerative organ. These new blood cells are formed in the bone ...

The Notch signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in determining cell fate, especially in the development and function of T cells. But mimicking this highly mechanical, contact-dependent pathway in the ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...
