Diagnostic nerve biopsy provides an instructive case history of the developmental arc of a laboratory test. Biopsy of peripheral nerves became a clinically applicable procedure around 40 years ago, ...

In an international collaboration led by Lund University in Sweden, researchers have used synchrotron light to study what happens to the nerves in diabetes. The technique shows the 3D-structure of ...

In this study we demonstrate an early loss of small nerve fibers detected by both CCM and skin biopsy in recently diagnosed T2D, with CNFD-MNF being most sensitive among six measures of CCM. However, ...

To rapidly transmit electrical signals in the brain, the long nerve fibers are insulated by specialized cells called oligodendrocytes. These cells also respond to the electrical signals of active ...

This produces light intensity profiles that reveal the underlying brain tissue structure and thus the crossing of nerve fibers. A combination of both methods in a single device would offer decisive ...

A new study published in the journal Brain Stimulation shows that high electrical frequency stimulation can activate specific nerve fibers in the body MANHASSET, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Electrically ...

New research combines 3D printing, stem cell biology, and lab-grown tissues may provide treatment to repair spinal cord ...

The clitoris contains thousands more touch-detecting nerve fibers than once thought. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The nerve ...

Following an injury, the brain tries to repair the damaged nerve fibers . Unfortunately, the repair process often succeeds only partially, meaning many patients experience lasting damage to their ...
