Neuroscience: Scientists Create “Endless Supply” of Myelin-Forming Cells
In a new study appearing this month in the Journal of Neuroscience, researchers have unlocked the complex cellular mechanics that instruct specific brain cells to continue to divide. This discovery overcomes a significant technical hurdle to potential human stem cell therapies; ensuring…

Fixed Neuron
A multi-wavelength, three dimensional, wide-field immunofluorescence image of a fixed neuron. The projection was generated using an extended depth of field algorithm. Cell body labeled for tubulin is shown in blue, F-actin in green, and presynaptic protein in Red. Specimen courtesy of Natalie Dowell-Mesfin BMS-PhD student.
