Researchers from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences have developed a novel implant that delivers tiny growth-promoting particles directly to injured nerve cells, helping them to regrow ...

Duke researchers study an approach that may help millions manage diabetic neuropathy and chemotherapy-induced nerve pain.

Oregon Health & Science University researchers have found that certain nerves that play an integral role in the body's "fight or flight" stress response can support pancreatic tumor growth. These ...

In a petri dish at Northwestern University, researchers grow organoids modeled on the human spinal cord: simplified, lab-made ...

The image shows motor neurons that have been generated from human iPSC (induced pluripotent stem cells) and integrated into a 3D-printed bioscaffold. The cells (shown in red) grow inside the ...

Researchers at the University of Leipzig Medical Center report that Schwann cells receive crucial support with nerve repair from the fat tissue that surrounds nerves in the body. Using genetically ...

A UCL research team has found clues as to why some nerve cells die in dementia and not others, through a new study in fruit flies. The study, published in Cell Reports, is helping to answer one of the ...

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 ...

Doctors usually focus on a person's average blood pressure, but research increasingly shows that how much blood pressure ...

Cancer tumors hijack the vagus nerve to communicate with the brain, triggering a hormonal response that suppresses the immune system.

In endurance athletes, some brain power may come from an unexpected source. Marathon runners appear to rely on myelin, the fatty tissue bundled around nerve fibers, for energy during a race, ...

New research from OHSU points to an unexpected player in cancer research: nerves Ariana Sattler, Ph.D., is first author on a ...
