When parts of the nervous system start to break down—or get broken—the consequences for human health can be staggering. Can ...

But "nervous (system) signals are a two-way street. In addition to receiving signals from nerves, cancer cells are sending signals and that also plays a role in its overall strategy towards growth." ...

The laminin-411 protein is vital for the formation of the myelin membrane by oligodendrocytes, report researchers from Japan.

"Nerve cell discovery may lead to better treatment for diseases of the nervous system." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 15 November 2022. <www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2022 / 11 / 221115113912.htm>.

Glial cells are an integral part of the human nervous system. They help support and nourish nerve cells, or neurons. Several types of glial cells exist. Glial cells are the “glue” of the ...

Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have developed an innovative treatment for breast cancer, based on analgesic nanoparticles that target the nervous system. The researchers ...

Although there are still many more unanswered questions about nerve cell regeneration in the central nervous system than answered questions, Hoffman said Han's results are an important step ...

A group of nerve cells in the brain has the remarkable ability to completely stop all forms of movement, a new mouse study shows. The discovery provides valuable insight into how the nervous ...

Researchers demonstrate how intestinal neurons use serotonin signals to identify and separate nutrient types in real time.

The nervous system is capable of being modified to a level where we can achieve nerve fiber growth. Ultimately, the goal is to promote growth and sustain it long enough for recovery of movement to ...

Researchers have successfully used &apos;bioinks&apos; containing living nerve cells (neurons) to print 3D nerve networks that can grow in the laboratory and transmit and respond to nerve signals.

A discovery that may improve treatment options for patients with neurodegenerative diseases has been made by scientists at King's College London and the University of Bath.
