In regenerative medicine, macrophages and stem cells play pivotal roles in repairing central nervous system (CNS) injuries. These cells are instrumental due ...

Spinal muscular atrophy affects the development of the nervous system more profoundly than was previously thought, a new ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...

The first node sits in the peripheral nervous system. Sensory neurons in the vagus nerve detect damage in the heart and send signals upward. The researchers focused on a subset of vagal sensory ...

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cell in the human brain according to the latest ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...
