With the aid of a 3D printer, researchers at Uppsala University have succeeded in creating a model that resembles human nerve tissue. The model, which can be cultured from the patient's own cells, ...

Researchers have made significant strides in biomaterial technology and rehabilitation medicine. They've developed a novel approach to healing muscle injury by employing 'injectable tissue prosthesis' ...

New research from OHSU looked at human tissue to try to understand how many nerve fibers are contained in the clitoris. It seems to be the first time that this has ever been studied (a previous ...

Avance is a nerve allograft derived from the nerve tissue of cadavers. It is used to restore peripheral nerve function following injury by bridging the gaps in damaged nerves. To reduce the risk of ...

The vagus nerve is an integral part of your autonomic nervous system. This part of your nervous system controls the things your body does without your conscious input, such as breathing, digesting ...

Stereotactic surgery uses focused radiation to damage nerve tissue (trigeminal nerve) to prevent or disrupt pain signals in your brain. We can use stereotactic radiosurgery to treat trigeminal ...

Nerve damage affects millions of people worldwide, creating symptoms ranging from mild tingling to severe pain and loss of function. While conventional treatments often focus on managing symptoms, ...

The sural nerve, positioned beneath the skin’s surface in the back of your lower leg, plays a critical role in your body’s sensory network. As a component of the peripheral nervous system, this nerve ...
