By examining genetic clues that linger in adult cells, scientists have now gained surprising insights into the developmental ...

When do peripheral nerves develop? Researchers used "mosaic barcodes" to prove that neural crest cells commit to their ...

A biodegradable ionic hydrogel battery modeled on electric eel organs powers a nerve conduit that accelerates peripheral nerve regeneration without external energy.

Millions of neurons branch throughout our bodies, keeping them in close communication with our brains. This peripheral network begins to take shape ...

Peripheral nerve injuries, often caused by traumatic events such as car accidents, falls or battlefield injuries, can leave patients with long-term weakness, numbness or loss of function. Despite ...

Hydrogel scaffolds can be used to guide mesenchymal stem cells derived from gingival tissue to develop into pro-regenerative cells, repairing peripheral nerve injury with the same effectiveness as an ...

When AHR is turned off, neurons shift priorities. They increase protein production and activate pathways that support axon growth. The team also found that this regenerative response depends on ...

Injuries to peripheral nerves –– tissues that transmit bioelectrical signals from the brain to the rest of the body ­­–– often result in chronic pain, neurologic disorders, paralysis or disability.

Glial cells are an integral part of the human nervous system. They help support and nourish nerve cells, or neurons. Several types of glial cells exist. Glial cells are the “glue” of the nervous ...
