Researchers have discovered that an FDA-approved drug acts on support cells in the central nervous system to encourage sensory neurons to regrow after injury. A spinal cord injury damages the lines of ...
Research by Milena Bogunovic, MD, PhD, associate professor of pathology At UMass Chan Medical School, sheds light on how ...
Can we regrow damaged nerves? A new study identifies the AHR protein as the switch that limits axon regeneration.
A new study demonstrated that introducing neurons into Xenopus-derived biobots led to the self-organization of active neural ...
The brain has many regions that perform different functions. Have students use a map of the brain and brain stem to locate these regions: frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe, ...
Scientists have built tiny living robots from frog embryo cells that spontaneously grow their own functional nervous systems, ...
Scientists have created tiny living robots endowed with functional nervous systems, marking a major ...
Neurons from grafted stem cells contain intrinsic codes for navigating and forming connections, which may improve cell therapy for a brain short-circuited by stroke. Some parts of our bodies bounce ...
The glial cells of the nervous system have been eclipsed in importance by neurons for decades. But glia are turning out to be central to many neurological functions, including pain perception. The ...
In a review published in the journal Advanced Science, researchers discussed the interplay of the immune system and the sympathetic regulation of vital metabolic organs such as the pancreas, intestine ...
