In a petri dish at Northwestern University, researchers grow organoids modeled on the human spinal cord: simplified, lab-made ...

Duke researchers study an approach that may help millions manage diabetic neuropathy and chemotherapy-induced nerve pain.

Scientists at Cedars-Sinai have uncovered a surprising repair system in the spinal cord that could open new doors for treating paralysis, stroke, and diseases like multiple sclerosis. They found that ...

The neuropeptide oxytocin is a special messenger substance that nerve cells use to communicate with each other. It is acting ...

Neuroscientists identify a CRF-neuron "switch" in the brain's BNST region that, when activated, allows for significantly faster unlearning of fear responses.

Scientists have uncovered a hidden partnership between pancreatic cancer and the nervous system. Support cells in the ...

Researchers at the University of Leipzig Medical Center report that Schwann cells receive crucial support with nerve repair from the fat tissue that surrounds nerves in the body. Using genetically ...

The image shows motor neurons that have been generated from human iPSC (induced pluripotent stem cells) and integrated into a 3D-printed bioscaffold. The cells (shown in red) grow inside the ...

Cancer tumors hijack the vagus nerve to communicate with the brain, triggering a hormonal response that suppresses the immune system.

Researchers have used advanced imaging techniques to find out how nerve fibers and myCAFs work together to make pancreatic ...
