Individual axons join the innervated muscle fiber at a specialized site called ... pain sensibility within the autonomous area of the nerve S2 Return of some degree of superficial cutaneous ...

The postulated mechanisms of injury include direct needle trauma, secondary constriction by scar, and direct nerve fiber damage, due to both axon and Schwann cell, with a breakdown in the blood ...

Damage to myelin, the protective sheath surrounding nerve fibers, impairs the brain's ability to transmit signals efficiently ...

These findings indicate that GDF11 promotes the growth of nerve fibers. Our study demonstrated that GDF11 can inhibit DRG cell apoptosis and promote axon growth in vitro. In addition, the in vivo ...

A recent drug discovery could eventually help the visually impaired and those suffering from multiple sclerosis, traumatic stroke, and Alzheimer’s disease regain some of their vision and mental ...

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, a diffuse axonal injury (DAI) occurs when the brain's long nerve fibers (axons) are torn due to the brain shifting and rotating within the skull during an injury.

Given the nerves control the movements of muscles and carry vital information all over the body, understanding the effects of neurons can lead to the development of plausible therapies for nerve ...

Approved targets include the sacral S3 spinal root and posterior tibial nerve, but an alternate target is ... activated several subpopulations of myelinated A-fiber and unmyelinated C-fiber axons.

The researchers found that mothers who were exposed to sunlight during their pregnancy, especially during the second ...

The nervous system is the body’s direct communication system. It’s made up of the body’s many nerve cells. These cells work together in a network that sends and receives signals from one ...
