The resulting damage to nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord leads to physical and cognitive impairment, and Dr. Levin explains that there are three components at play in this process.

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 ...

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.

Microglia are immune cells that patrol for pathogens, help prune nerve cell connections and more. Oligodendrocytes coat nerve fibers in myelin, insulation that speeds messages.

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 ...

Neurotransmitters are vital to your body’s ability to function. Their role is to carry messages from one nerve cell to another cell, which can be another nerve cell, a muscle cell, or a gland cell.
