A breakdown of a recycling system in cells appears to be the underlying cause of a fatal nerve disease. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the most common form of motor neuron disease, causes ...

Over half of all the nerve cells in your nervous system do not transmit any impulses. These supporting nerve cells are located between and around your neurons to insulate, protect and nourish them.

Brain tumours are one of the hardest types of cancer to treat and survival has barely improved over the last 40 years. Some types of nerve cell cancer, for example neuroblastoma, can be very difficult ...

The researchers found for the first time that injured nerve cells could re-grow for "remarkably long distances" (about 2cm). They said that while the rats did not regain the ability to walk, they ...

Nerve cells have been previously grown in the lab, but the scientists said these cells did not mature, which means there were not useful for furthering research into degenerative nerve diseases ...

Start date: July 2022 Duration: 4 years Amount: £261,477.00 Project summary Tau is a protein that builds up and moves between nerve cells in the brains of people living with Alzheimer’s disease, ...

But under diabetic conditions, this nerve-to-bone signaling was impaired, and instead of forming new bone, the periosteal cells started to shift towards fat cell differentiation (adipogenesis).

The treatment used olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) - specialist cells that form part of the sense of smell. OECs act as pathway cells that enable nerve fibres in the olfactory system to be ...

A specific group of nerve cells in the brain stem appears to control how semaglutide affects appetite and weight – without causing nausea. The discovery, made at the University of Gothenburg ...

Human brain has dedicated set of nerve cells that respond only to sound of music, study finds Study contradicts view that musical appreciation is merely 'piggybacking' on the ability to hear other ...

Scientists at the John A. Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah have discovered a new type of nerve cell, or neuron, in the retina. In the central nervous system a complex circuitry of neurons ...
