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

Dewpoint has selected a novel small molecule to prevent the formation of abnormal TDP-43 protein clumps in ALS and other ...

Using microelectrodes, scientists could show that cells in the retina play different roles. The produce different signals, which is important for the processing of visual information. These ...

Analyzing molecular changes in two types of peripheral nerves that are affected in diabetic peripheral neuropathy – the sural ...

A study suggests overactive VCP may contribute to ALS nerve damage by disrupting nuclear pore proteins in genetic ALS.

Scientists at Duke University found that satellite glial cells can deliver healthy mitochondria to injured sensory neurons, restoring energy, reducing inflammation, and significantly relieving ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells - one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult ...

For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged nerve cells falter because their energy factories known as mitochondria don't ...

Most human nerve cells last a lifetime without renewal. A trait echoed within the cells' components, some enduring as long as the organism itself. Most human nerve cells last a lifetime without ...

The fibers of the vagus nerve have many crucial roles. The vagus nerve helps regulate many physical functions including controlling heart rate and speech; it is related to the feeling of satiety after ...

The retina is often referred to as an “outpost of the brain” – after all, important steps in visual signal processing do not take place in the cerebrum, but in the nerve cells in the eye. When light ...
