A Saskatoon student is off to compete in a national science fair competition after looking into how 3D printing could help heal nerve damage. Britney Feng is a Grade 12 student at Saskatoon's ...

Nerve cells that had similar gene expression profiles were grouped together as one sensory nerve cell type. In this way, they identified 16 distinct types of nerve cells in humans.

Researchers have found a way to make injured nerve cells regenerate, so hope is there for those suffering from spinal cord injuries and neurological disorders.

Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in ...

Model produced with 3D printer In the current study, the researchers used human stem cells generated from skin and programmed to become motor neuron progenitors, a type of immature nerve cell that can ...

In brief Nerve cells can be grown from stem cells in Petri dishes, enabling scientists to research diseases. Previously, it was only possible to create a few dozen different types of nerve cell. Using ...

Stem cell therapy may also use stem cells to replace damaged nerve cells. However, this may be challenging because the stem cells will need to mimic the appropriate connections between the ...

In the past 10 to 15 years, intensive basic research has brought about considerable progress in this area. For example, a number of factors have been found in the nerve cell environment that can stop ...

A 3D cell culture is an artificial environment that allows biological cells to grow or communicate with their surroundings in three dimensions. A 3D cell culture, as opposed to 2D surroundings ...

A UCL research team has found clues as to why some nerve cells die in dementia and not others, in a new study in fruit flies. The Alzheimer’s Research UK-funded study, published in Cell Reports, is ...

" Nerve cells die in the context of Alzheimer's disease as a consequence of a well-defined sequence of biochemical reactions, called 'necroptosis'," explains Balusu, postdoctoral researcher in the ...

The study is published in the journal Cell Metabolism. Activated nerve cells To investigate how semaglutide affects the brain, the researchers worked with mice.
