Scientists discovered that axons don’t quite look like straight cables. Instead, axons often appear like pearls on a string.

Using a newly devised, three-dimensional model to study the regeneration of nerve tissue in the nose, researchers at School ...

By Lee Dasom A domestic study has found a method to safely remove waste matter from the brain through non-invasive means. A ...

before a nerve cell can activate another cell, it contacts an impeding cell and its own activity is therefore inhibited. Using these kinds of circuit diagrams, scientists want to learn how the brain ...

Later, complete muscle paralysis results in loss ... This gene makes a protein in brain and spinal cord nerve cells. And 12–20% of familial cases result from mutations in the SOD1 gene, which ...

Neurons in the somatic, sympathetic, and parasympathetic ganglia are surrounded by envelopes consisting of satellite glial cells (SGCs). Recently, it has become clear that SGCs are highly altered ...

In its acute phase, GBS rapidly progresses toward severe weakness that can lead to sudden and complete paralysis ... treatment in GBS is to rapidly stop the autoimmune damage on nerve cells, allowing ...

Then we used ImageJ software to count normal nerve cells. Apoptosis cells were measured by using ... Figure 5 showed the docking diagram of aconitine with ALB, AKT1 and CASP3 protein molecules.

A new understanding of how tumours exploit our nervous system is leading to new ways to treat cancer using familiar drugs ...

Obesity is a global health problem that affects many people. In recent years, very promising anti-obesity drugs have been developed. Despite these successes, there are patients who do not respond to ...

The research group identified the so-called PNOC/NPY nerve cells in the brains of mice. When activated, these cells increase food intake and lead to obesity. Interestingly, these nerve cells are also ...

A specific group of nerve cells in the brain stem appears to control how semaglutide affects appetite and weight -- without causing nausea. A specific group of nerve cells in the brain stem ...
