A stem-cell-based "organ-on-a-chip" model of ALS mimics early biological changes seen in the degenerative disease.

After 12 weeks of treatment, 75% of per-protocol patients receiving 0.05% urcosimod showed greater than 80% reduction in ...

Characterization of intracellular synapse heterogeneity aides to understand the intricate computational logic of neuronal circuits. Despite recent advances in connectomics, the spatial patterns of ...

Antibody–siRNA conjugates (ARCs) are a type of promising drug modalities for cancer therapy. However, initial reports of ARCs present the gene knockdown effect only in limited tissues (e.g., muscles) ...

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

The cannabinoid agonist market is gaining momentum due to expanding medical cannabis legalization and growing clinical validation for its use in chro ...

The adult brain still carries stem cells that grow, divide, and eventually become new mature neurons.

A team of researchers at Rowan University has developed an injectable biomaterial that could significantly improve recovery outcomes following spinal cord injuries. The study, recently published ...

Cancer cells steal energy-generating parts from nerve cells to fuel their spread to distant sites, a discovery that could improve treatments against the deadliest tumours.

As the monkeys considered their choice, researchers recorded activity from nerve cells in the dorsal premotor cortex, a brain region involved in translating decisions into actions.

Mature neurons – nerve cells – are highly specialized and, unlike other cells, don't possess centrioles, the mechanism essential for cell division and replication.

By focusing only on the nerve cells that reduce appetite and burn fat, future medications could provide weight loss benefits without the drawbacks of nausea or muscle loss.
