Following an injury, such as a traumatic crush injury, the peripheral nervous system is itself often able to effectively regenerate. This capacity of regeneration is mainly attributable to the Schwann ...

A new study reveals that the twin enzymes MNK1 and MNK2 play distinct roles in the brain, with one governing memory and the other social behavior.

Neurons from grafted stem cells contain intrinsic codes for navigating and forming connections, which may improve cell therapy for a brain short-circuited by stroke. Some parts of our bodies bounce ...

Researchers created a 3D biomaterial implant that delivers RNA to injured spinal cord neurons. The approach silences PTEN, removes internal repair barriers, and significantly boosts neuron regrowth in ...

The human body is often described in parts—different limbs, systems, and organs—rather than something fully interconnected and whole. Yet many bodily processes interact in ways we may not always ...

Pancreatic cancer has long been feared for its silence and speed, often spreading before symptoms push patients into the ...

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells that play a crucial role in various neurophysiological processes. They not only support nervous system structures but also contribute to ...

Scientists reveal how sleep protects brain cells, manages metabolic damage, and may help explain links to Alzheimer’s disease.

New research uncovers how the brain, immune system, and nervous system contribute to heart attack damage, revealing three nodes that could be targeted with new therapeutics.
