Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are pluripotent stem cells generated from adult cells by reprogramming. iPSCs have the same properties as embryonic stem cells, and therefore self-renew and ...

Researchers uncover a link between impaired glutathione–ascorbate metabolism and early dopamine increases in Huntington's ...

A metanalysis shows that every 10 grams of dietary fiber confers a 10% reduction in all-cause mortality. Frequently “seeding” our guts with a combination of healthy bacteria like that from a low-fat ...

The human brainstem consists of the medulla oblongata, the pons, and the midbrain, all part of the brain's 'automatic control center', which regulates sleep cycles, as well as breathing and heart ...

As a candidate for this brain mechanism, they focused on estrogen receptor beta-positive neurons, which are widely distributed in the dorsal raphe nucleus of the midbrain (DRN-ERβ + cells).
