Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far ...

Fainzilber’s lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that a family of hundreds of RNA molecules with no known physiological function is essential to nerve regeneration. Remarkably, the ...

Unlike the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerve cells, whose long extensions reach the skin and internal organs, are capable of regenerating after injury. This is why injuries to the central ...

Scientists have successfully grown over 400 different types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab—a groundbreaking step toward replicating the complexity of the human brain.

Once dismissed as “junk,” a group of RNA molecules has been found to help regrow damaged nerves in mice in new research. The ...

In diabetes, much attention goes to sugar control, insulin levels, and the threat of nerve damage. But a new study reveals ...

Researchers are making room for scientists from 8 destroyed labs; their findings can potentially help repair nerve cells ...

In a key advance for regenerative medicine and gut health, scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and Nanyang Technological ...

A popular weight-loss drug may be changing how doctors treat obesity—but scientists are just starting to uncover exactly how it works inside the brain. A group of researchers from the University ...

Research demonstrates sulforaphane triggers Nrf2 activation, enhancing the body’s production of endogenous antioxidants that protect nerve cells during repair processes.

"We show that the nerve cells, termed motor neurons, that will eventually die in ALS have problems soon after they are formed. We saw the earliest sign of problems in the cell's energy factories ...
