The electric skin cell signals, which move at glacial pace compared to those in nerve cells, may play a role in initiating healing.

Scientists are getting into the epidermis to explore how skin and nerve cells interact. “The skin is basically the window to the outside,” said Kathryn Albers, a neuroscientist at the University of ...

In their current study, which has been published in the journal eLife, the researchers investigated its effect on human nerve cells that they had cultivated from stem cells. The result ...

A complementary drug to combat Alzheimer’s disease could target a specific part of the nerve cell protein tau. This is the finding of research from the University of Gothenburg, which also offers a ...

nerve cells influence in particular the fibroblasts of the tumor (CAF—cancer-associated fibroblasts), which make up a large part of the tumor mass. They are also stimulated to grow and ...

If an axolotl hurts its spinal cord, its glial cells go to work to repair the nerve damage and fix the ... A circular array of cells would inflate and fill with water drawn from Martian resources.

To understand why certain parts of the brain are more affected by ... Interestingly, the researchers also discovered that oligodendrocytes, brain cells that help insulate nerve fibers, were less ...

The tail enables the sperm to swim. The nerve cell is extended, so that nerves can run to and from different parts of the body to the central nervous system. The cell has extensions and branches ...

To understand why certain parts of the brain are more affected ... the researchers also discovered that oligodendrocytes, brain cells that help insulate nerve fibers, were less affected by tau.

But it was its structural complexity that prevented a simple reduction to models derived from the cell theory. Nerve-cell bodies, nervous prolongations and nervous fibres were observed in the ...
