For the first time, an electrical communication has just been established between a living nerve cell and its artificial ...

A drug candidate found to protect nerve cells damaged by motor neuron disease (MND), could offer new hope to people living ...

Researchers at Tulane University, with a team of colleagues from eight other universities, have discovered a new nerve cell signaling mechanism that could transform our understanding of pain and lead ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron. With a signal ...

Nerve damage can be an unfortunate side effect from an accident, illness or even certain treatments, like chemotherapy. Fortunately, the peripheral nervous system can heal itself to a certain extent, ...

Researchers have developed a neuron-growing ink that uses the body's own electrical signals to precisely guide the growth of nerve cells. The bioconductive ink can be printed in lines to direct where ...

An artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells has been demonstrated by researchers at Linköping University, Sweden.

The experimental therapy M102 slowed disease progression in preclinical experiments done in mouse and cell models of ALS, a ...

A small population of nerve cells appears to be responsible for blood flow and neural activity across the entire brain, ...

When you take a walk, talk to a friend, or chew a piece of food, motor neurons are behind these movements. Just like other parts of your body, they can become damaged. You may have heard of ALS, ...
