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

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...

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 ...

A new study reveals that nerve cells receive periodic infusions of mitochondria from neighboring cells — and this may point to a new way of treating nerve pain. When you purchase through links on our ...

High-fat diets and obesity reshape astrocytes—star-shaped brain cells in the striatum that help regulate pleasure from eating. French researchers discovered that tweaking these cells in mice not only ...

Your nervous system is like a highway. When the roads are clear and well-maintained, traffic flows smoothly. Messages travel from your brain to every cell in your body without obstruction. We obsess ...
