Nerve cells that had similar gene expression profiles were grouped together as one sensory nerve cell type. In this way, they identified 16 distinct types of nerve cells in humans. As the ...

This finding challenges the conventional view of nerve cells as highly specialized and instead highlights their versatile ...

Nerve cells, or neurons, are the basic functional units of the nervous ... signals in the body while neurons in the CNS analyze information. Types of Neurons Sensory neurons The cell bodies of sensory ...

Amino acid balance could play a role in SMA, as a study showed acids able to influence nervous system function were ...

had on a specific sensory molecule found on the tips of peripheral nerves. They placed central and peripheral nerve cells taken from rats together in lab dishes to mimic the cells' relationship to ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo.

MRI scans suggest runners’ brains might use the fatty substance myelin as fuel. The finding could lead to treatments for ...

A USC research team discovered that a single genetic signal may be preventing both hearing and vision cells from repairing themselves. By turning off this signal in mice, they triggered cell growth in ...

The research showed that up to 50 percent of the motor and sensory nerve cell death could be prevented in mice with sciatic nerve injury and researchers feel they are on their way to developing a ...

"It did but only for one specific type of sensory nerve fiber. The nerve cells we were actually trying to regenerate didn't respond the way we expected," said Stewart. "That led us to a new ...

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