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

Arteries can narrow with fatty buildup. Blood struggles to move. Oxygen drops. A heart attack can follow, and it remains the ...

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 ...

Scientists developed a technique to grow cells that control voluntary movement, a discovery that could aid ALS and spinal injury research.

Using an aging clock, researchers from the University of Cologne have used the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to demonstrate that nerve cells age differently. They identified both the causes of ...

Stressed brain cells can survive longer by slowing sugar use, revealing a short-term protective response that later turns ...

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cell in the human brain according to the latest ...

A team of Canadian scientists has uncovered a new way to slow the growth of glioblastoma, the most aggressive and currently ...

Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...

A popular weight-loss drug may be changing how doctors treat obesity—but scientists are just starting to uncover exactly how it works inside the brain. A group of researchers from the University of ...
