Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

Microneurography is a method that allows the researchers to listen to the nerve signalling in one nerve cell at a time. No less than 16 different types of nerve cells have been identified by ...

In a new study, neuroscience researchers at The Ohio State University have discovered a special type of human white blood cell that has the potential to regrow nerve fibers. The study findings, ...

Reducing RAD23A levels helped nerve cells better handle toxic TDP-43 protein clumps, improving survival and function in an ALS mouse model.

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cells in the human brain, according to the latest ...

Scientists have recreated a pathway that senses pain, using clusters of human nerve cells grown in a dish. Pain pathway in a dish could aid search for new analgesic drugs Scientists have re-created a ...

Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.

It’s a bit like seeing a world in a grain of sand. Except the view, in this case, is the exquisite detail inside a bit of human brain about half the size of a grain of rice. Held in that minuscule ...

Using an aging clock, researchers from the University of Cologne have used the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to demonstrate that nerve cells age differently. They identified both the causes of ...

So when you touch a hot stove, the nerve endings in your fingers react instantly. But the ouch comes a split-second later, when that information finally reaches your brain. Well, now, scientists have ...
