They placed central and peripheral nerve cells taken from rats together in lab dishes to mimic the cells' relationship to each other inside the body. Then they exposed the cells to cold and menthol.

Researchers have used genetic tools to investigate how specific nerve cells in the brain respond after a spinal cord injury.

Scientists are getting into the epidermis to explore how skin and nerve cells interact ... the team turned to state-of-the-art imaging strategies that zoom deep inside cells to bring fine structures ...

Inside the cochlea there are over 16,000 hairlike cells, which take vibrations entering your ear and convert them into nerve impulses. Those impulses travel to your brain, which turns them into ...

These expanded huntingtin proteins aggregate inside cells and damage them in various ways, although exactly how this results in the death of nerve cells remains uncertain. Spearheaded by graduate ...

Researchers studied how the 3D structure of DNA in nerve cells affects their ... which is the 'instruction manual' of every cell, is tightly folded inside the cell nucleus. The way it unfolds ...

These tangles form inside nerve cells and make them sick, which causes the brain to be damaged, leading to symptoms of dementia. Scientists know that the tau protein can move from one nerve cell to ...

The cells on the inside layer of this very early embryo can ... For example, red blood cells look very different from nerve cells, but they both start out as embryonic stem cells.

Recently, Sahoo and his RU-N research team made a breakthrough, using a peptide to help nerve cells in both the peripheral and central nervous systems regenerate. They published their findings in ...

Energy is provided by the breakdown of ATP inside the cell ... The proteins pump sodium out of the cells and potassium into the cells. This helps nerve cells to transmit nerve impulses.
