A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

Researchers have discovered that an FDA-approved drug acts on support cells in the central nervous system to encourage sensory neurons to regrow after injury. A spinal cord injury damages the lines of ...

Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered ...

A new study published in Nature Neuroscience provides evidence that aging and injury lead to the buildup of senescent neurons—commonly referred to as “zombie” cells—in the peripheral nervous system.

The neurons in our brains and bodies do amazing things: sense the outside world, transmit information, guide our behavior. But they don’t do it alone. Using tiny worms with well-mapped nervous systems ...

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

Astrocytes are integral constituents of the central nervous system, serving roles that extend far beyond mere structural support. These specialised glial cells are crucial for maintaining homeostasis, ...

In jellyfish and sea anemones, neurons accumulate DNA damage while animals are awake and repair that damage during sleep.

The process of “epigenetic memory” in nerve cells plays a key role in learning ability, memory function, and healthy brain ...

Pain sensing neurons in the gut kindle inflammatory immune responses that cause allergies and asthma, according to a new ...
