Damaged brain tissue can be re-grown using a new method that lets researchers guide stem cells into exactly the type of brain cells they need for a particular spot. They're targeting new treatments for stroke, traumatic brain injury and MS.

Scientists have developed a promising new tool for monitoring Parkinson's treatment described as a "fluorescent nanosensor paint," which glows brightly in the presence of dopamine to reveal its concentrations and spread in the brain.

German scientists have restored the ability to walk in mice that had been paralyzed by a complete spinal cord injury. The team created a “designer” signaling protein and injected it into the animals’ brains, stimulating nerve cells to regenerate.

​A team of scientists from the Ruhr-Universität Bochum have compiled the largest astronomical image of all time.

A common ailment among stroke patients and the aging, treating a degenerative sense of touch has proven a complex task. A stimulation glove designed to improve tactile perception through small electrical pulses could provide a wearable solution that's unimposing enough for everyday use.

A significant step on the path to quantum computing has been taken by an international team of researchers who have succeeded in creating quantum bits within a semiconductor for the very first time.
