When hepatitis E viruses attack nerve cells Date: November 18, 2024 Source: Ruhr-University Bochum Summary: Hepatitis E viruses (HEV) typically cause liver infections. They can, however, also ...

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. “This is the first ...

" 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 ...

Applying red-light therapy to a damaged spinal cord protects and regenerates nerve cells, leading to a return of motor and sensory function, according to new research. The treatment could expand ...

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

In a preprint paper shared via the arXiv, scientists in Slovenia announce that they managed to 3D print a tiny elephant figure inside a living cell. The cell survived the procedure and its immediate ...

Earlier versions injected the cells at the site of the injury, but the Phase I/IIa trial will use 1-2 cm (0.4-0.8 inch) bridges built of millions of olfactory ensheathing nerve cells.

Cell Division in 3D This video shows a 3D view of a cell undergoing cell division. You can see the actin filaments, labeled in orange, as they help separate various cellular components into each ...

Scientists have successfully immortalized lip cells, allowing new treatments for injuries and infections to be trialed on a clinically relevant lab-based model We use our lips to talk, eat, drink ...

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 (neurons) in the human brain, for instance, can be as old as the organism, even up to more than a century, and must function for a lifetime.

The lack of sufficient high-quality data on the shapes of living 3D cells has limited the investigation into the relationship between cell shape and cell fate during C. elegans embryogenesis.
