A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

A team from UNIGE has shown that neurons positioned in the wrong place can still perform their function without disrupting ...

Glial cells in the Drosophila nervous system play indispensable roles in neural development, function, and homeostasis. These non-neuronal cells facilitate a range of processes, including the ...

Researchers have enticed transplants of embryonic stem cell-derived motor neurons in the spinal cord to connect with muscles and partially restore function in paralyzed animals. The study suggests ...

A new study published in Nature Neuroscience provides evidence that aging and injury lead to the buildup of senescent neurons—commonly referred to as “zombie” cells—in the peripheral nervous system.

Following an injury, such as a traumatic crush injury, the peripheral nervous system is itself often able to effectively regenerate. This capacity of regeneration is mainly attributable to the Schwann ...

In jellyfish and sea anemones, neurons accumulate DNA damage while animals are awake and repair that damage during sleep.

In order for your body to work properly, your nervous system needs to be working properly. Your nervous system is responsible for helping your brain communicate with your body and helping your body ...

Strange sea creatures called ctenophores have a fused nerve net where scientists expected to see synapses. Did they evolve their nervous system separately from other animals? When you purchase through ...
